My local grocery stores all seem to carry them (in cases of 12 of so - in boxes) since many people do home canning. -=mark=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2002 Report Share Posted May 1, 2002 Is there a Wal-Mart out there? Here they carry a fairly decent supply of canning goods including jars.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2002 Report Share Posted May 1, 2002 Oops, sorry about that last reply I forgot it was the Digest/summary. OSH carries differt size mason jars. They have a section for canning/preserving in their stores. JJ > Hello, > > I live in Oakland California.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2002 Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 Everywhere! I've bought them from Albertson's, Safeway, Orchard Supply, Target, etc. Sometimes they're tucked away in a corner so you have to ask. --- Conway <mclcdcmcmc@...> wrote: > Do you have True Value hardware stores?

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 The problem is that I find the two-piece lids are much better for storing juice. The juice goes as close to the brim as possible and is in contact with the lid seal. This not only means that I can remove the lid with much less chance of spillage if it's in two parts, but that my juice isn't touching plastic. The plastic lids are food-grade but they do affect flavor and I'm all about the taste. Also, the seal is better if the lid is in two parts. I juice for a week at a time and it's critical that I have as little oxygen as possible in the jars (although I've read from other users that vacuum sealing is, with this juice, overkill). So the two-piece lids remain a better choice for me. Also, I'd just be misplacing an entire lid instead of 1/2 of one.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 This is SO TRUE - the plastic lids do leak liquid! I use them mostly to store dry stuff.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Lea Ann, I just found the plastic lids this summer and bought a box full. I like using Mason jars to store different things.

One day at Walmart I discovered plastic lids for mason jars! I bought a bunch of them and now use them for when I use mason jars for storage when I don't need to create a seal. I also buy lots of extra of the sealing kinds of lids because there is nothing more frustrating (to me) than needing a lid and not finding one - you never look for them when you don't NEED them!

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I like the 2 piece lids because I can vacuum seal them with my lid adapter and suck out all of the air. I store EVERYTHING in mason jars, from my grains to frozen food cubes that end up in the Vitamix. I have some of the plastic ones, which I cut holes in to hold my glass straws that I use-keeps the glass straw from rattling against the glass jar!

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 brilliant idea, using mason jars with the lids with straws for drinking. my kids love to have smoothies while we're doing school and on the way to/from activities/sports, but they need lids and I don't feel good about using disposable cups. I used to hoard kids' cups from restaurants, but we just don't eat out that much anymore. I'm thinking I could easily use my drillpress (yep, i love tools, in the kitchen AND in the garage) to make straw holes in the plastic tops! yippee!.... Thanks!
