I am on the hunt for some reusable ice packs. I need them for a small insulated bag that I can keep either in my car or most likely take when I scrapbook. That way I can keep my yogurt and cheese sticks in there as they have truly helped keep my stomach settled lately.
Suggestions?

I have some that are about 1/2” thick and are abut the size of a larger paperback book and made of rigid plastic. I think the rigid plastic ones freeze more firmly and stay cold longer than the squishy kind. (But the squishy kind work better for first aid uses.)
Unfortunately, I got mine at a Carrefour, which is a French grocery store. But surely they have the same sort of cold pack in the US?

I buy the ones that are in the sporting or outdoorsy section of either Walmart or Target. They are usually sold near the ice chests.

We use them in our work lunch boxes and get them from Walmart... in the camping/outdoors area...

Whatever you get, try them a few times before you depend on them to keep your yogurt cold.
I have some of the hard blue ones from the camping sections. They last ok.

Ask your friends if anyone gets medication or meal kits delivered to their home. We always have tons due to having refrigerated medications delivered.

I put any type of cold pack in a zip lock bag to keep the condensation away from your food. It works well. Still have the solid square ones in zip lock bag when kids were in kindergarten and they are 13 now.

I always just freeze a couple of bottled waters. They last a long time and you can drink them after you eat what’s in your bag!

I like the Rubbermaid ones that snap onto the top or bottom of a container. We bought several sets of them when DD was in grade school. You can attach the cold pack to the top, the bottom or in between the containers which come in several sizes. www.rubbermaid.com/lunchblox.html |

I get mine from the Vet. LOL Our vaccines come packed in them, so my farm freezer is FULL of them. They are the soft plastic ones.
I like them, and the thicker they are, the better they last. Super thin ones do not stay frozen long.
My advice - double bag it in heavy freezer zip lock bags. They seem to get small holes in them and leak. Having the heavy zip bag around them helps a lot.

I make my own - use new sponges, wet them, put them in zip-lock bags (double bag) and freeze. Cheap, easy and I don't care if I forget them or lose them.
