| I am wanting to stock up on regular and wide mouth canning lids/flats. Where is the cheapest place or store to buy individually or bulk lids? |

I don't know!!! I always do look for them in the thrift store in unopened boxes. I got a bunch for cheap at the Grocery Outlet but it was a one time thing.
Hope someone else has a better idea.

So far Walmart and one of the local hardware stores have been the cheapest around here. I know you can order them online also. That may be a good place to price shop. =)

I usually get mine where ever I find a sale. Used to buy them in bulk through a friend in Calif..when we moved here I lost that "connection". I hope someone has a great source. I use alot of them!!!

| I buy mine at Wal-Mart or there's a grocery store here called Save-A-Lot that has them,too. I also buy their brand of sure-gel. You have to boil it for 1 min more but that-s okay. I buy my jars wherever I can. Flea markets or yard sales, etc. Every year I make a lot of jams and relishes, pickles, etc. and give a lot away. I ask close friens to save the jars for me, but I don't get many back so every year I'm buying dozens of new jars, but not this year. I've quit giving away my jars unless I really want to and quit expecting them back. I'm going to slow up canning, two people can only eat so much. I say this every year and just can't let berries, etc. go to waste.lol |

So far our local hardware store is the cheapest on canning supplies.

Yep, Ace Hardware is where I get most of mine. They had the pretty colorful ones there. I save all my rings so don't need to buy those. I always take them off when they have sealed so they won't get rusted on. Does anyone else do that?

You can find large amounts on ebay if you aren't picky about the colors. I found blue and yellow checkered ones there for half the store price!

Sad to say - WalMart. even our local hardware gut sells them for too much. This is where I find the cheapest liquid pectin too.
Keep checking thrift stores and garage sales too |

May I also suggest auctions? If you like that sort of thing, you can find jars and rings and lids a VERY reasonable prices. Especially if no one is bidding against you! Good luck.

| Hi - I usually get mine at a Family Dollar or Dollar General, but they run out fast. I pay $1 or $1.50 for a box of 12. I also use a lot and would love to find them in bulk. I just joined a co-op and think I will check with them. |
