I buy them at wal mart, they have 4 different sizes. Or any kitchen store in the mall. My hardware store (local) has these HUGE ones 3 different sizes. smallest can fit 2 oz, largest can fit 1/2 pound.
Walmart has the big glass ones for around 20 bucks, They probably about a gallon size. Ikea has ones about half that size with the locking metal clips for about 4 bucks.
I bought 25 of them at an estate auction over the holiday my boyfirend paid 9 dollars for them and most of them are from the 1900's one is pattented July14, 1903 stamped on the side of the bottle. I think I got a good bargain. Some are blue and some are clear.
pat catans or some giant eagles, look at the site, they give u general idea of where u can find them. also calling around never hurt anyone. i just got 12x Quart jars for 8$ bucks, new.
Not sure of their geographic coverage but the very best/cheapest place to buy canning jars around here is a discount store called Big Lots. Albertsons Food Store also usually has them in the canning section. They are higher than Big Lots but do got them on most occasions.
^------True.... hobby lobby has air tight rubber seal counter top jars, albertsons has the preserver jars ( small and big), and big lots has fucking everything
