Yes. We live over an hour from Dallas in a town with only one
groceery store. Most visits to Big D for business or whatever reason
will involve food shopping at Central Market or one of the Asian
stores there or the Farmers' Market. Typically we take a small cooler
with blue ice and ask for some ice from the meat/fish counter when we
make our purchases.
