Nationwide Jar Shortage Due to Pandemic
    #27000769 - 10/24/20 02:58 AM (3 years, 3 months ago)

In my grocery store, there was a letter in the canning section from Ball that said they will no longer be supplying retailers canning products until March to allow them to build inventory for next years canning season. Not a single jar or lid on the shelf... I made an amazon order weeks ago for half gallon jars and found out yesterday that they are on backorder indefinitely.

Is this the same in your area? Any suggestions on where to go for jars now?

Live in Scandinavia, have one supermarket, that stock jars, in my small town. Those shelves are never empty. I raided the .5L shelf (PC only fits 4 of them) a week ago, and its full again.

There is also a bottle and glass wholesaler-warehouse in my town, they seem good on everything, from what I can tell of their website.

Goodwill and local garage sales for small quantities.  I've been getting rid of a ton of jars lately cause I'm moving and it's too much glass :lol:

If you can get to smaller towns, more rural areas, farm/feed stores etc. some of them might not be depleted yet. 

Otherwise, switch to bags.

Buy dollar jars of pasta sauce. Mason jars were usually 9-12 dollars for a 12 pack anyway. Dump the sauce out since dollar sauce sucks too much to eat. The jars are good tho

Spawn bags. I hear unicorn is a good brand. Rummage local thrift shops.

Wal-Mart in Canada keeps getting stock once in awhile and I keep buying them out. 12x1quarts for $10 CDN. Got the garage stocked with a few hundred just in case.
I warned people about this two months ago and I wish I had the foresight to buy a second PC when I had the chance.

Be really nice if they got replacement lids and rings in though as after awhile these things are fucked with rust.

These lids should be made of PP5 plastic, actually its one of the companies the legal weed farms use to source their jars from :thumbup:

For the pasta sauce jar thing there's absolutely nothing stopping you from donating some flats of it to a homeless shelter on the condition you get the jars back. Unless you need the jars right away that's a win for everyone involved. Hell if you do a ton of it you might even be able to ask for a tax receipt.

The sauce might not be so great but I bet hungry folks getting some pasta don't mind it.

At our Dollar General store they have Christmas stuff out now and it included some off brand chinese quart "holiday" canning jars that have regular sized mouths for about $1.50 each. they had 12...I bought 12. I tried them out with just some water in them in my PC to ensure they wouldn't break and they were fine...sterilized now.

Unicorn Xl's are 86 cents each here in Canada, sucks.
I'm only using them for fruiting at the moment so no need for the fancy filter.

Found a roll of 1000 2mil gusset polypro bags 8x8x18 for $150 though. Still around 15 cents a bag before tax but why not eh.
