One of my neighbors bought 15 cases of canning jars at Wal-Mart last night. He said we'd need to grow and preserve our own food shortly. So...

I have been canning for years and one might think I'd be well stocked on jars but I'm not. The problem is that I give away stuff and don't get the jars back. At approx $.60 per jar it runs into money. I'm thinking about charging a jar deposit.

Exactly. I calculated his cost at $.67 a jar and that included a flat cap and a ring.
