I have done so, yet I still prefer Publix store brand which is on sale this week 2 half gallon cartons for $5.00. I love their Key Lime Pie and Moose Tracks. That said, ice cream is my thing, I love it and I would probably indulge in an $11.00 /pint once in a while.<br /><br />Still, homemade is the best.
