Try online at "jarwholesale" for the wide mouth lids. They have really good reviews... and have both wide mouth lids and wide mouth lids and bands in stock. Discounts with quantities....

My uncle had been about to give up on finishing his canning because the cheapest wide mouth lids he could find were $12.99 a box. I sent him most of what I had so he could finish back in September.

Mom said it surprised him that I didn't ask for anything. She also thinks it greased his palm a bit to give my youngest brother the Commodore 64 he'd been asking for.

That's crazy. I paid $1.47/dz. reg lids in March/April! Lg. would have been about .20 more/dz. I think. Me thinks, price gouging. I thought that it was illegal to price gouge during times of national hardship.
Our hardship is not a national hardship, we are just gardeners, not even a blip on the radar.

Actually Menards has at something in $2.50 range, Ball brand.... Out of stock but, I don't need now....next summer is good. Actually sent email to Fillmore to advise of double price being unacceptable. Like they even care! :lol: if we all refuse to buy these companies may get the hint.

Shame we are not close. I've got ample lids and empty jars! Of course, my garden didn't do as well as yours, thus these empties.

arg! this sucks not being able to just wing some your way easily... @baymule

still no jars on any shelves. we checked last weekend when we did our errand runs. we did find some lids and stocked up, including a box of the off brand ones that come in handy for freezer jam.

Gotta have a big shared kitchen building for all the canning/preserving. 😍

Tiny houses, big barns, big gardens, big pastures. Lots of goats. 🤣
