Jars at a decent price
If you have preserved for any length of time, you know the price of jars. lids.pectin, etc. has kept climbing to ridiculous heights. Our local Costco yesterday had many cases of Ball pint and quart jars, pints $5.99 and quarts $6.99. Not great but much cheaper than any other source here (Denver area.) gloria p |

Not great but much cheaper than any > other source here (Denver area.) > > gloria p Pints are averaging about $8.00 a case around here, some at 9 bucks. I generally don't need many quarts so haven't priced them. I got a good deal on Amazon last year for four cases of pints so went for it, so far haven't even cracked a case yet. After the spring/summer season most of the stores here cut pints back to about seven bucks a case. I buy my lids on line, 350 in a tube for standard mouth. So far still have over 200 in the tube. I hit a church sale in a rural community not far from here the other day and snagged a bunch of half pints and some 10 ounce jars, all standard Mason jars and some of the little round half pints. Got them for ten cents each. Last time I did that was in Louisiana and I got over 200 assorted jars for ten cents each. Tossed the mayo jars in the recycling bin and kept the good ones. Wrote it all off for charity. <G> Unfortunately the community we live in now is not much into doing home anything. I see the Chinese and pizza joint cars going by every night. We have at least six Mexican restaurants, four Chinese, and every fast food name in the US within a mile of us. No wonder these people are always broke.
