Ball Jar Jackpot!!

[bluegrasshammer]

I hit the canning jar jackpot this past weekend! I was speaking with my brother-in-law at family Christmas and he said his wifes Grandma used to can food. He went over there and asked her about it and she said he could have anything he wanted out of the basement.

He went down there and there are literally hundreds of Ball and Kerr jars, of all different sizes! He said at least enough to fill the back of his Ranger up. That saves me a couple hundred bucks!

Sweet ;D A heck of a find ;D

Good deal, ;D you can never have enough jars it seems.

I have hunderds and just keep filling them.

Although about 200 are jam/jelly jars.
I give them out as gifts. And to the owners of property I trap.
Some times it's hard to get the jars back though.
But they are getting better,as a mater of fact some just buy a case and drop it off ! LOL
Running out of room with all these jars.

Garage sale season is almost here. I'm gonna be keeping my eyes open for some real bargains on jars.
