it and how much did it cost?

I don't have my own machine, although I have access to as much ice as I 
need from our restaurant.  But this is not convenient as it is some 
distance from the market.  Since I don't like to lug a cooler of ice (these 
are sooo heavy!), I trade produce for ice (doesn't take much) from vendors 
who sell cold drinks, or restaurants located across the street.  If you're 
wanting ice for your own use, trade your own produce.  People love 
bartering & ice is such an easy giveaway, and you may actually gain a 
customer.  2 of the restaurants/coffee shop from which I receive ice, buy 
my flowers for their tables, & some produce to resell.  Yes they resell it 
for higher than my retail price, but the yacht owners who buy it don't seem 
to mind, and since it's a small amount I don't either.  Beggars can't be 
choosy!! ; )
