“You got me thinking that I need to go buy more smaller sized canning jars - the kind I can can in if need be. “
Hubby went to the store for me tonight to get me some OJ (I’ve got a cold coming on) and I had him p/u some canning jars, rings w/lids, and just lids. 12 qt. jars/$7.79; 12 rings w/lids/$2.99; 12 lids/$1.49. Are these prices reasonable for these things?
I’m in the suburbs in N.IL. I am thinking of checking with my MIL to see what kind of deals she can find in WI. I know there are Amish/Mennonite stores up there.
>>>12 qt. jars/$7.79; 12 rings w/lids/$2.99; 12 lids/$1.49.<<<
VERY good prices!
Last year I got 12 pints for $6.50, and 12 Quarts for $8.49
I checked today and lids at local feed store were $1.99 - The ones I got last summer were 99¢ (I bought them out - so am stocked up for this year, but plan to try to keep a year’s supply ahead)
We use a lot of pint and half pint jars - 3 of us and I don’t like to have a bunch of leftovers.

YES ,in West NC jars are around $9 doz. rings lids 2.96-3.49, lids 2.99 avg. send him back for more (HA!)
That sounds better than what I can find here (S. CA). 12 Qt wide mouth jars are about $9 or $10, so you’re money ahead of us!
I wonder if the really cheap canners would be ok or do we have to invest in expensive ones? They’re as cheap as $50 new (I think it was a Ball brand kit).
ps. I hope you get to feeling better. I’m sure granny has a remedy for a cold!
