Does McDonald’s Sell Ice? Yes, And You Can Even Order It Through the Drive-Thru!
Does McDonalds sell ice? You bet! Here’s what you need to know!
Need to keep your food and beverage cold? Stop by McDonald’s.
Have you ever been on your way to a picnic, campout, or barbecue and needed some ice for the cooler? If you don’t have a gas station or convenience store nearby, consider heading to your local McDonald’s. That’s right, the popular restaurant sells bags of ice at many of their locations!
Does McDonald’s sell bagged ice?
You might have even asked yourself in the past, “Does McDonalds sell ice?” The answer is YES. The fast food joint doesn’t specify the option on their menu, but if you ask the cashier or manager, they might just have bags of ice for sale. They are only available at select locations so make sure to call ahead of time if you want to be sure they can sell it to you.
How big is a McDonald’s bag of ice? How much does it cost?
The size and price of the bag will vary by location. However, you can expect 8lb. to 10lb. bags being sold in the ballpark of 99¢ to $1.50. Hip2Save’s Lina recently scooped up an 8 lb. bag for just $1.29 and she didn’t even have to get out of her car! Yup, she ordered it through the drive-thru! 🙌
For comparison, my local gas station sells 7-pound bags of ice for $2.52 which comes out to 36¢ per pound. Lina was able to scoop up ice for just 16¢ a pound. McDonald’s for the win!
The next time you’re in need of a quick and cheap bag of ice perhaps you should skip the convenience store and head straight on over to Mickey D’s!
These Hip2Save members also took advantage of McDonald’s ice bags:
“We’re out at the lake and we needed a couple of bags and my cousin mentioned it, so we tried it, and they gave us 3 bags of ice (7lbs) for $3.25!” – Monica, Hip2Save team
“McDonald’s is where my family and I would pick up ice from every time we headed to the lake.” – Krystal, Hip2Save team
Thanks Lina & Hip2Save team! I always look forward to your posts and videos!!
Oh thank you so much for the kind words! 🫶❤️

Oh, interesting!
I’ve been buying ice from McDonald’s for years and think it’s the best ice out there!
Glad to hear you’ve been pleased with it through the years, Brenda! ❤️🙌 Thanks for taking a moment to comment!
I was able to order some through the app this weekend as I used it to ice down drinks at our yard sale for my daughter to sell.
What a great idea! Awesome that you could order it through the app! 💞🎉
My good friend is a manager at Mcdonalds and she brings me to the back with her to fill any coolers we need for parties. I love Mcdonalds Ice!!!
How cool! Glad it has been helpful for parties, Jen! ❤️🙌 Thanks for sharing!
Chick-fil-a sells bags of ice too. You can order it in the app. under Beverages > Other, or order it in the drive through/in store. I love their crunchy ice! 🙂
YES! Thanks for the reminder, Casey! 🙌 Glad you’ve enjoyed their ice too!
In my area, people would probably just go to one of those Twice The Ice machines that are all over the place.
Costco sells 24 lb bags of ice for about $3.29.
Thanks so much for sharing, fuzzymitten! Good to know you can grab larger bags there for a good price. 🙌🧊
