Where is 'where I am'?
Where I am - SW Mo sort of - can't get canning lids or vinegar. Actually we did get vinegar - got lucky i guess but still can't find canning lids and bands. Apparently I can order them online for $12.99 a dozen but even Ball brand at Walmart used to be $3.49. They have a cheaper brand but they've been out of those for awhile. No way am I paying $12.99 - ridiculous
SE WI. I found canning lids and bands at the nearby Wal-Mart here, but I shopped for those a couple months ago. I figured they would be in short supply by later in the summer when people start canning. Now, they’re hard to find because lots more people are canning this year. Pickles, lots of pickles.
I’ve found canning lids almost everywhere.
Wegmans has them.
The local Mennonite store has them.

I have some applesauce from 2011 that I used the lids on, and I wanted to see how long they would last.
Nine years and the applesauce is still good.
