Desperate Jar Needs

Hey.
I live in Sydney, Australia and for some reason canning jars with no shoulders are extremely hard to find.
I've looked in supermarkets, cooking stores, outdoor markets, ebay, various malls and still not one feasible jar for mushroom cultivation.
Could anyone tell me where they got their jars, or even better maybe somebody could have a couple extra jars that I could buy via paypal?
Thanks for the view, deX

In such a case you can use drinking glasses.

I had used something very similar in the past and when I PC'd them the top or foil would come off and the verm/brf would get wet.

Alright, you have deal. I'm going out Monday to revamp my shroom lab and I'll pick up an extra two packs of wide mouthed "Ball" jars (1/2 pints) for ya. There would be 24 in total.
They are I think around $8 each, so I'll just charge you $12 each + shipping.
I should have some pictures on here Monday night unless you can find someone willing to give you some jars with no extra charge before then, if so, that's fine, I hate shipping anyway

Then you were doing something wrong..... The foil came off by itself?

How thick was the foil? You shouldn't use the thinnest available.

One of your mates found jelly or jam jars in his local grocery store, down under that worked.
You might also think about doing RYE GRAIN, or millet/milo/sorghum wild bird seed. AS, you do not need WIDE mouth jars to do so.
You can fruit off rye grain alone.
WBS is better to spawn to horse manure.

I am only doing cakes for my first grow. And I did buy 6 jam jars that i *Though* would be good but they were not screw ons and as I said to some other guy in the previous page, the tops come off when I try to PC them. 
And thanks UnderNose i'll check out k-mart on monday.

When able,
STEP UP to wbs as spawn to pasteurized h/poo & case it.
You will never regret it.
