A tub of ice cream usually costs about $2 to $6 for a standard grocery-store tub , while premium brands or larger tubs can run $7 to $15+. Prices vary a lot by size, brand, and store, and one recent supermarket listing showed tubs around £2.00 to £4.00 for 900ml to 2L sizes, with premium tubs higher.

Typical price ranges

  • Budget/store brand: about $2 to $4.
  • Mid-range brands: about $4 to $8.
  • Premium brands: about $8 to $15 or more.
  • Bulk or food-service tubs: can be much higher depending on size and brand.

What affects the price

  • Tub size: 900ml, 1L, 1.5qt, 2L, or gallon tubs all price differently.
  • Brand: store brands are usually cheaper than premium names like Ben & Jerry’s or Häagen-Dazs.
  • Country and store: prices vary a lot by region and retailer.

Quick example

A 2L supermarket tub can be around £2.00 to £3.75 in some UK listings, while a smaller premium 465ml tub can be around £3.75 to £4.00.

TL;DR: for a normal tub of ice cream, expect roughly $2–$6 , but premium or large tubs often cost more.
