Bulk Ice Cream - Gallon Pails
3/26/2020 at 7:40 PM

Is there anywhere local to buy bulk ice cream? (Thinking like 5 gallon pails type of thing).

Try the places that sell hard ice cream - Twisters, Velvet Dip, Forbidden Flavours. They might sell you a pail.

If you only want physical pails (without ice cream inside), I've bought them from Kuipers. I think it's $2 for a pail and lid, usually they're about 3 gallons.

Thank you, I wasn’t sure where to start looking. Good idea! I will check to see if these places sell gallon pails.

They had 5 gallon pails. Probably not food grade. Not sure if they had lids but they did have handles.

Princess Auto doesn't sell ice cream...

Forbidden Flavors be your best bet for buying a pail.

It’s been awhile, but I have got pails from the bakery departments of grocery stores. They receive pie fillings, etc in them.

Just to be clear.. the question was where to find bulk ice cream.. not pails or lids. Thanks for the information though for people who pointed in the right direction!

I did read your original post but guess I got side-tracked by other comments directing you to places where you could purchase pails only, not pails of ice cream! My apologies and I hope you find bulk ice cream as originally requested
