Canning Jars - Locally
I finally found a local hardware store that carries canning supplies! So I stocked up with scooping up 3 cases! This hardware store only carries the jars once a year, and they don't carry that many cases. If I had the space, I think I would have bought every single case. hahaha. I've complained about it before in previous blog posts. It is so difficult to find canning jars in Staten Island. The only place I was able to find them was AC Moore, but they charge $1.99 a jar. Um, no way! That would mean a case would cost $24! Forgetaboutit! I found these cases for $9.99. It's the same price as the Ball website, but at least I don't have to pay for shipping!
Thank goodness I got the jars, because I have been busy canning the harvests. I did a whole case of pint size jarred pickles. And some heirloom tomato salsa. Yum! Canning season has begun!

Glad you found them. If you were here in MS, I could load you up!
ReplyDeleteWhat hardware store? I'm also looking to stock up.
ReplyDeleteHi Jay, Doody Home Center is where I got the canning jars. Call them first to make sure they have it in stock, when I was there, they only had 20 or so cases.
