Isn't it the time of year we start complaining about can't find jar lids?? I have all I should need have always been hoarder of them buy ahead.
I haven't been watching really close. Does seem most places here have lids. It is though the time everyone starts grabbing. How is it looking in rest of the world..

Walmart here about a month ago............... Had GADS of Ball lids so I scooped up.

Last year's shortage had me buying a sleeve of 100 or 250.............a brown paper tube the size of a roll of 10 can roll of snuff..........off brand or no brand lids. Did my canned venison and had two not seal. Never, EVER have I had a failure to seal with Ball. Lesson learned.

I got enough last year. Some are Chinese. Canned green beans with them over the weekend. They bent like a jiffy pop popcorn foil at first. They sealed but the lids have small creases in them...... buy American.


Just passin through

I used the foreign ones last year. I had maybe 5-6 unseal or fail after checking and storing out of a couple hundred, but still an issue. I also had a dozen or so that kinked but sealed. I am using those i have left for frig dills and other frig items. Got a couple hundred ball lids sent a couple months a go. Should be good to go for this year.

Amazon normally has them. But I just stock up on them in the off season at the local stores rather then mad scramble for them when I need them

Stick with Ball or Kerr lids. I don’t care for the Golden Harvest brand you see a lot of today.
