DH went to a larger town this morning and I asked him to get 2 cases of canning jars. He bought what they had, it was 4 cases of 4 blue jars at 9.96 each. "They" told him this was all they had and didn't know if or when if they would get anything else.
After I gasped, but did not fuss I loaded them up in my van and went to the nearest walmart. I had no problem returning them and even tho their stores were low I did manage to get 4 cases of 12 for about $11.00 a case.
And lo and behold they had a small chest freezer. I grabbed it up. AT least three people stopped me and asked where I found it. I did feel sorry for them but its catch as catch can. I would have prefered a small up right but beggars can't be choosers.
I also stopped at another local store and they had two cases of quart canning jars left at 15 a case, I bought both of them. This is a great old fashioned hardware and other goods store that has been in Natchitoches of over 100 years. They have any kind of plumbing thing you would ever need and their prices are always good plus they are so friendly.
So I ended up with 6 new cases of regular mouth quart jars. I can get a lot of stuff put away in a hurry. I already have a couple of unopened cases of wide mouth jars but I only use them when the regular mouth ones won't work. Case in point I ordered three jars of butter buds for seasoning. I only wanted to leave one on the shelf and the other two I vacuumed sealed but they would only fit in the wide mouth jars. Same with my extra of my particular brand of baking powder without aluminum. I keep my working jar of bp in the freezer cause I don't bake very often.
I do have a wagon load of jars but they all have to be soaked and washed and since I do not have an electric dishwasher, it takes awhile to get some washed.
God is good all the time.
