Canning supplies WTH?
« on: February 01, 2021, 01:39:13 PM »
So we did some canning this weekend and the wife asked if i went out could i pickup some lids, sure no problem right? WRONG canning supplies, most importantly lids are hard to find, i went to 6 places today with no luck, some had jars with lids and bands but no lids to be found, we haven't canned in a year so had not really been paying attention but really, canning stuff is gone also  :bash:
I'm sitting here locating and buying a few hundred regulars and wide mouths (nothing off brand either), i feel like im buying ammo  :chuckle:
I feel like we have more than enough jars but starting to question that and make pick up 50-100 more....
This is what makes people buy all the TP  >:(

Yep. I discovered this about 2 weeks ago. Found the kids with bands at Walmart, but only a few. I'm with you, lots of jars and rings, hurting on life. May start buying some more jars intermittently to prepare for next fall. Going to do more canning for sure.

 Wide mouth lids are harder to find than 9mm ammo. Almost like someone is buying it all up so we can't be prepared......

Amazon has Ball lids, $15.08 for a box of 12.  Maybe set up a trade 1:1 for some .223?   :chuckle:

Seems like everything is in short supply, lots of money flowing around and production challenges in addition to fear.

I tried to find large lids a few weeks ago. No luck. Saw them at QFC a couple days ago and grabbed a handful.

I have used all different brands and they seem to pretty much do the same thing.

There’s been a lid shortage since last summer along with the seed shortage.

So apparently my wife has a dealer  :chuckle:, she came home with 5 boxes lids/bands and 4 cases of jars (which you all know have lids and bands.  :tup:
Oh and she is not super greedy, said she left 2 boxes of lids/bands for someone else.. i was like yeah thats the right thing to do  :rolleyes:

She checked online and said no way she was paying those prices, i reminded her thats what she said about ammo months ago  ;)

Bought 6 cases 2 weeks ago at sunbirds in chehalis.  Don't remember if they had just lids but had a butt ton of jars with lids/rings.  Both regular and wide mouth
