I live in NC and I do a lot of offshore fishing. We used to have to buy shitloads of bagged ice at premium prices plus we were at the mercy of stores and their hours of operation.

Now we pull a truck up with the entire bed full of ice chests, fill them all up reasonably with the "bulk" option and then load the ice into wells on the boat. The next morning, we're off at 5 am loaded with ice.

Where I live, the winters are rough for fishing, so this would be seasonal, but in a place like Florida....
