I can get a tube of jar lids a foot long for $25 at the Mennonite store. I think it is 100 lids ...

Where does the Mennonite store get them? What brand?

My Mom and I went to Walmart today. The canning section was empty.

Thanks for posting this.

I used to use another site for checking websites but forgot the name.

As of today, there aren't any lids and very few jars left on the shelves of the stores here.

This is the canning section at our nearest Walmart. They had one package of half gallon jars and that was it. No lids, rings, salt, etc.

Thats how it looks at my Walmart, too.

Ok, so in my panic moment I ordered on Amazon the only lids I could find and this is what I got in the mail.
I have never seen white rubber seals before. and this here is the package it came in, I don't know about them. Any experiences with this type?

no.

One possible bright spot about the lack of canning supplies is: maybe some people that have never canned before are doing so now. Might mean a lot less hungry people later.

certainly hope so!

As @farmerjan says, many of the commercially packaged food lids have white.

yes, but it may not be the same material.

I have seen "white rubber" like that before. Never used any. But all the jams and jellies in the grocery store have white "sealing gaskets" under those lids....

Did you try TATTLER for the reusable? They do still have stock available. I like them.
Also, a decent company is "FILLMORE" that sells bulk lids.... but they are out. Lehman's of course....

NOTHING coming from china that is going to be in contact with food..... remember melamine plastic ?????

No, I have not tried tattler I guess because it is not something I have not tried in past and not sure of my canning skills to try.
