Yes, you can buy dry ice at Publix.
Many Publix locations carry dry ice in their frozen foods section or at the customer service counter. Availability may vary by store, so it’s a good idea to call ahead to confirm.
When purchasing dry ice, it’s typically sold by weight. Make sure to check the price per pound, as it can differ from one store to another.

If you’re planning a special event or need it for a scientific project, consider buying just what you need. Dry ice sublimates quickly, so you don’t want to end up with more than you can use.
If you can’t find dry ice at your local Publix, there are usually other grocery stores or specialty stores nearby that stock it.
Some Publix stores may also offer dry ice for sale during holidays or special occasions, so keep an eye out for seasonal promotions.
