Are you findingf it hard to find ice cube trays in the store to buy?

I think it is a seasonal thing. You usually cannot find them past the first of August. I have not needed to buy any in a long long time though.

Hello, Unique.:) I find this amusing. :) I checked your profile to see where you are exactly located and it surprises me that you are from the USA. Whoa! No ice cube trays there???? I was about to suggest to look in the grocery sections of number of malls in my country that got plenty of ice cubes, but, no can do in your case.:( So, needless to say, I don't have such problem here. :) In my country, Philippines, where we get to experience a warm to hot weather any month of each year something like an ice cube tray is a necessity in every household. So we can get it from any other grocery stores or malls here.:)

That's an interesting thing to bring up because yes, I have noticed it is hard to find ice cube trays. I know companies think we all have fridge's with ice making capabilities, but we don't. The last ice cube tray I found was at the dollar store - in another state! lol The places to put the ice were in heart shapes, so I had heart shaped ice.

Hi. unique16. I have not looked for ice trays in a while as of now. I bought some ice trays about, three years ago, I think. All of them were damaged as we have moved. So I had to throw them all away. I do know that during the summer and spring time, many stores have cheap ice trays that they may carry. You may have to check around this time of the year then for ice trays.

I think maybe the stores figure the sales of the ice cube trays were diminishing and decided it wasn't worth it to sell them anymore. That does tend to happen a lot to all kinds of different products. My local store doesn't sell them either. But when I looked around a thrift store they had a whole bunch of them. lol.

IKEA has lots of them. I've bought the star shaped ones and they also have hearts, plain cubes and others. Maybe they haven't restocked at Walmart and Kmart and the dollar store just doesn't have them (?). I don't know, I never had trouble finding them.

I think odds are it may be considered a seasonal item. I know not many people would be wanting them in the colder months so why keep them on the shelf all year. Though one would think it's such a common object they would not be difficult to find.

Wow. I did not know this. I guess with more and more refridgerators having automatic ice makers they are being phased out. I still have some that my mom used when we were kids. They are metal with a lever in the middle that you pull up to help release the ice. It's pretty cool.

Are you in the UK? We have plenty of ice cube trays in our supermarkets over here, although the weather over here doesn't really call for them...I even found some heart shaped ice-cube trays the other day! :)

The last time I visited the store to search for ice cube trays was like two years ago and than I bought a lot of them. Indeed, it was hard to find them also two years ago so I bought a lot immediatly ;-)
