I picked up some Ball canning Lids at Walmart yesterday. I noticed they also have them online at the same price. I’m not sure if it’s a sale but it seems to be a little cheaper than I thought they originally were.
Regular mouth Lids were $4 and wide mouth lids were $5. Regular mouth canning bands with lids was $7. I thought that one was probably a good deal so I got several boxes.
Thanks for the heads up on the canning lids at Walmart.
We use brand name and generic lids and they all seem to work well.
Lids seem to still work okay even after being stored for years.
We always check lids for defects and give them a hot water soak before sealing them on the jars.
We have accumulated so many of the screw-on bands for regular jars that now we usually buy just the flat lids.
I see Walmart also has bulk deals on no-name generic lids (no bands)
100 regular mouth lids @ $14.99
100 wide mouth lids @ $18.99
Amazon also has 100 regular mouth lids @ $14.99
But 100 wide mouth lids at Amazon are $22.99
This place (Temu) sells Chinese merchandise: https://www.temu.com/
They have 150 regular mouth lids for $19.88 and free shipping
We haven’t bought lids from Temu but some of the other lids we bought locally are Chinese made and work OK.
We did buy a different item from Temu and it was as advertised and shipped pretty fast.
Once in a while we have found close-out deals on marked down canning jars and lids at local stores at the end of canning season
when they are clearing the shelf space for Thanksgiving and Christmas merchandise.
