Where is the best place to get lots of cheap ice for a party?

Question

I'm having a 21st and about 90 people will be coming, so I need lots of ice for the drinks. Where is the cheapest place to get lots of ice? A petrol station? Dan Murphy's?

I live in Sydney (in the South-East), Australia.

Answer 1

Have all of your friends fill their empty clean plastic gallon milk containers and put it in their freezers............and bring it with them when they come..........one big block of ice for keeping a lot of things cold.........

For drinks.........have your friends bring zip lock bags of ice cubes they have made at home.

Otherwise call a business that produces ice and ask them how much different types of ice are and how much it is to deliver the ice........unless you have a pick up truck to pick it up at the ice business.  

Rent an ice machine a few days before the party if you have the room and hook-ups for electricity and water.......

You can buy small childrens wading pools (blow up or solid plastic,,,,,,which ever is cheapest) or new plastic garbage cans to keep your beverages and food in........

I hope these tips help you!!!!!!

Happy Birthday!!!!!

Answer 2

if your mum and dad have a chest freezer,get a big bucket and a smaller bucket ,place the smaller one inside the larger one and fill the space between the two with water and finely sliced fruit, once it is frozen make a nice Strong punch to fill the place were the little bucket was and presto you have a good way of keeping the punch cold..

PS sit it in something big enough to catch the water as it melts.
