Where are all the lids???

I sent an email informing Ball about that website. If it saves one person from getting their credit card into stolen it was worth my time.

although they are out of stock right now, Lehman's still has lids listed at $79 per tube of 345 lids (regular- I believe the wide mouth you get a little less). Comes out to about 23 cents each

Lehman's is about an hour or so from here. Just sayin'

That demo job might have it's "moments" but you have been able to acquire some pretty decent stuff along the way haven't you?
Yeah, we must have been twins... or at least sisters... or cousins.... or something.

I got a dozen wide mouth quart jars at Walmart today! Whoop! Going to can spaghetti sauce. I made some, canned in pint jars, takes two. DH said it was the best spaghetti sauce he ever had. I told him, well DUH! I used OUR tomatoes!

Ive been in 2 Walmarts and nothing but empty shelves. I did, however, manage to score 4 packets of yeast. Yay!

Jars with lids are relatively same prices by, lids are like 2-3 times more than before.

They had regular lids and rings at one store here last time I was in. $5.99 which is normal price. That store also has pints, half pints, and quarter pints in. So it's looking up.

I saw quarts and half gallons last night at the store.

Still no boxes of just lids.

I think the "two yrs worth" was more for lids than actual canned goods. 🤔 I have storage for that. With just one to feed, mostly I have room for over a yr of foods. Plus freezer space.

My garden can produce for several but, it has to go to others not me. Often my animals get an amount of the produce. My DD and DGD eat little in the way of veggies...odd. potatoes and beans, not green ones but dried types, are about it. No tomatoes, occasional tomato sauce, or corn on cob, string beans for DGD. DS eats corn, limas, green & dried beans types. None will eat the brassica families, or most of nightshades. Squash, minimal for DS. Don't know how as they ate these as kids when I was raising them! 😁. They like pumpkin, apple or pecan pie.

So I garden larger but, wonder why. Maybe wishful thinking!
