I did the same thing and caught it before I pressed the final ‘Place Order.’ They wanted $10 shipping for a case of 12 jars with lids and rings...which was already $15! When canning jars are costing you about $2 EACH - your Bottom Line is not being met.
Though - if I actually PAID myself the $45 an hour which is my standard Consulting Fee, I’d never break even - EVER, LOL!
Lol- i am i n a fog (Brain fog) most of the time, and I’m lucky i caught the shipping fee-
I’ve sicne noticed a few other items on walmart are very expensive shipping fees too- I’m gonna have to really pay attention from now on when ordering-
Yep- labor of love really- we love garden veggies year round so the expense is an aside really- but dang if we’re gonna pay more for shipping than the product is worth lol
Runnings is chock full of canning jars of all sizes.
No lids though, but the last couple years I stocked up on canning lids. I would buy four boxes of each, wide mouth and regular, every time I hit the store.
I am SO glad I did that.
For non canning uses, like storing dried herbs and other dried foods, I use spaghetti sauce jars. The gasket is built in and since it’s not necessary to process the jars, they are the perfect answer for saving the canning lids for actual canning.
