I buy canned drinks when the grocery stores are having a really good sale, and I put them away for when we go on trips or rides. I also bag my own ice. Every time my ice bin gets full, I put it in a large freezer bag and put it in the freezer.

Very good ideas, Brenda. I have an icemaker so ice is always pretty much ready for me to just pop in a ziploc bag. My husband & I prefer to drink water on car trips so I fill a jug with ice water and bring some cups. The kids have that too or I bring small juice bottles for them or fill up no spill cups for them with juice, etc while on the road. I try to avoid spending money on pop when we're out because it really is an unnecessary expense!
We went to San Diego a couple of years ago, from Illinois. We took a cooler with us, filled with lunch supplies and drinks. Packed some munchies and away we went. Sure saved us a lot of money and didn't have to stop often to eat.
I reuse many times 16 and 20 ounce plastic bottles. I fill them up about 85 per cent full and freeze them. It's a good idea to freeze them without the lids and add the lids when frozen.
