Marie Bregg, founder of the Mason Jar Merchant website, had to buy the Canadian equivalent of Ball lids at retail prices to fill the flood of orders on her website. She says sales are up 1,000 percent from the previous year.

my supply is okay....I've been able to pick up rings and lids here and there, even when I was on vacation...
you know in places in Europe they simply heat their food up well and put a simple screw type lid on and they do not pressure can nor water bath...

They’re unloading their high priced inventory.
They’re high priced inventory is what’s left
The Amish grocer one county up from where I live stocks rings and lids in bulk, and doesn’t charge rapacious prices.
I picked up 100 each regular and wide lids summer before last. I also grabbed another three dozen new wide mouth quart jars when they went on sale at the local grocery. Didn’t do a lot of canning last season so I’m still well stocked. I’m hoping to do a better job of preserving the harvest this time.
I had a SCORE!!, yesterday, that I know you two can appreciate.
I was cleaning out old Christmas stuff - tins/deco, etc, from a hutch...I moved a stack of tins....and, to my delight....I found stacks and boxes of NEW canning lids!! Wide mouth and regular.
I am set, for some time, hallelujah!
