Grocery stores don’t even carry dry ice here where I’m at.
Not even the local welding places have it.
I found literally only one place within an hour of me to buy it. It’s a florist and it’s 2 bucks a lb.

Manufacturing is the best reason for high volume if they ask. I had a welding supply bring in 2500lbs per week to freeze bushings for an interference press fit on a large contract of excavator boom rebuilds.
The mining/manufacturing industry where I live literally goes through 5000lbs per week of dry ice and probably another 5000lbs of liquid nitrogen.

Ask your welding supply to bring it in for you. You’ll probably have to buy a 500lb tote minimum though. Not sure how much you need.

Order online ??
Yeah, luckily I’m just blasting small runs out here so it’s not a huge deal to pick up 30# or so. And the florist could care less and doesn’t ask questions, so it’s not the worst situation.
@densone, I looked into that too before I found the florist, it was way more than 2 a # that way.

Tell them you own an ice cream truck. There are local ice cream wholesale places and they sell dry ice for the truck drivers, and lots of ice cream to of course.
I mean the truth is even if they are suspicious, they would have to call authorities notify them that someone is buying a whole 20 pounds of dry ice pretty regularly, at which point the authorities would have to open up an investigation, set up some kind of sting or follow you from the pick up. Then try to establish what you’re doing with it. So bottom line, I don’t think they give a fuck and I don’t think they could do anything if they did
