Getting a cheap cooler through Grocery service?

[CowboyCO]

Does anyone know if it is possible to get one of those cheap, styrofoam coolers from any of the grocery services out there? We are staying at ASMU and don't want to pay $10/day to get a fridge. I would like to have a cooler to keep bottled water, soda, milk, etc. Anybody know?

We leave in three days and I haven't found anything yet...

I am pretty sure that gardengrocer.com offers the foam ice chests.

yup
we just returned last week and got one from garden grocer.com for $5.99, I think it was under the barbque etc listing,There were 4 of us and we ordered 2 quarts of milk for cereal and an oj and there wasnt enuff room once they were opened(standing upright in cooler) so get 2 coolers is my suggestion, we donated ours in the laundry room on our last nite to some very happy Mom! full of water and pepsi too, BONUS pixie dust

Thanks everybody-- I went on to garden grocer , filled up the cart with about $50 worth of snacks, drinks and a cooler, went to check out and *DING* Sorry-- can't deliver on that day. OK, I'm flexible, Day 2 *Ding* No. Day Three? *Ding* No.

It's off-season-- how can they be that busy? I wonder how much business they lose/turn down?

Hmmm. It's starting to look like I'm gonna have to make a trip to the store, get a soft cooler, a case of water and snacks and check it like luggage! (Gotta watch that 50-lb limit though)

Call them,(G Grocer) maybe it is just a system glitch and not the truth! There is a phone # listed, Id definately call em!

Check the other grocery delivery services, wegoshop.com and goodings.com, I found this quote on another thread, it compares the services. I have never used any of them so can not speak of quality - GOOD LUCK

"www.gardengrocer.com and www.goodings.com both deliver. Garden Grocer only has a $10 delivery charge compared to We Go Shop, but We Go Shop states they will match any deliver charges; and if an item isn't on Garden Grocer, all you have to do is email them and they will add it to your list. HTH!"
