I used to see if for sale someplace but I no longer go most places that I used so I can't remember or maybe it was just a dream? I remember lots of stuff that never happened.

I thought you could buy it at most grocery stores, Wal-Mart, maybe even Home Depot, but I could be wrong.Things work out best for those who make the best of the way things work out.-John Wooden

I know where to bury dry ice.

Any airline caterer should have it, not sure if they can sell, but can tell you where to get it.
Brings back memories of practical jokes with dry ice. One of my first jobs at an airport, we would take half-full Evian water bottles, since their bottles were stronger, then add a handful of crushed dry ice to the bottle.
Cap it off and toss it inside catering vehicle and let it roll under the carts while someone was securing the carts. Took about 30-45 seconds before it went off.
Tell you what....inside a closed space you would think a 12ga went off.
That was mine, and a few others' so-called initiation. -

Around here, places that sell supplies for beer tap set-ups have it.

The same place where you buy powdered water.So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

There's local ice makers here that sell bulk ice and ice systems for restaurants, food service and so on. They often have retail counters as well where a regular shlub can just walk up. All the ones I know of handle regular water ice and CO2 ice (dry ice) so every time I've needed it, I've gone to "Mack The Ice Man" for it.
There's a couple locally that do liquid nitrogen and other more extreme cooling options for chemical/biology labs and such for schools and small manufacturing/engineering/prototyping shops.
I'd say look in the phone book but nobody uses those anymore but a search on Google...well, honestly, Bing and DuckDuckGo have been more reliable lately so use one of those and search for "dry ice suppliers near me" or replace "me" with your zipcode. You should find a few.Expert Moron Extraordinaire

Oh, also, if you have an Airgas distributor near you, they sell it too. Basically any place that will do compressed gases for stuff like welding supply or electronics manufacturing or even medical supply companies will likely have dry ice as well. But, the difference between the other suppliers and industrial suppliers is that the dry ice from an industrial suppler like a welding supply company will not be food safe. Airgas likely will have industrial and food safe dry ice but food safe dry ice is going to be more expensive than industrial dry ice.
I found that the places that specialize in water ice are cheaper for food safe dry ice because they don't do industrial dry ice so cost structure is different.Expert Moron Extraordinaire

If you are shipping something along the lines of food or body parts, make sure to declare how much dry ice you are using. There are limitations for quantities which can be shipped via truck and aircraft. With that...no need to comment on what you may be shipping!

CO2 fire extinguisher + a towel = dry ice

We did the same, used liter and two liter plastic bottles. Threw them in sand-pit lakes and the Platte River. Cheaper than M-80's. We did use some C-4 only ONCE to uproot a large dead cottonwood tree on a sandbar island, a fourth of July in the early 1970's, (an ex navy guy placed it), it was the grand finale, WOW! -

^^^^ I was only a guest. Annual 4th party of maybe 100 people at a lake/river home.

That 100 year old Cottonwood shot skyward about 150 feet. At about 9:30 at night. Luckily the sandbar was about 100 yards out in the middle of the river. All the dead wood fell in pieces and floated down the Platte maybe another 30 miles to where the Platte joins the Missouri River.

Did your trace its path on a Platte map? -

That thing is pretty ugly when the eyeball lights are off. How much do you want for it?
