What Your Frugal Friends Are Saying About This Ice Pack:

Patti writes: “My hubby just had knee replacement surgery. The home health care nurse made the ice paks exactly like you described and I keep 2 sets in the freezer so I can switch them out.  That “gel/slush” really gets into all the nooks & crannies of any surgical or owie site. Thanks for sharing as that’s a very important item to keep on hand and makes a whole lot more sense than a bag of frozen peas.”

Melissa writes: “Worked great! I’m going to make a few smaller ones too. We chose green food colouring.”
