Was looking for mason jars to store food. and came across these Ball jars at Walmart.com. Prices are lower and quality is better than those at Amazon.com, where many unknown jar brands rule. Minimum $35 for free shipping,

A little tip for people who have never used glass jars. NEVER take a jar that is boiling hot and plunge it into very cold water to cool it down. It will shatter the glass. Instead use warm water to cool it down so the glass doesn't expand/shrink too fast and shatter.

Ordered a dozen with plastic lids!
Can you send the link for the ones with plastic lids? Been looking for mason jar with just regular lids & not the ones like this which are in two pieces.
Need to store spices

I have only used the 2 piece lids. I have no experience with these. So I don't know if these are what you are looking for and/or if the prices are good, bad or indifferent.
Not due to this deal...but I just bought a 12 pack from my local Target for about $10 a few hours ago.
They had a half dozen or so on the shelves. Was not aware this stuff may be a hot commodity.
So I'd say check your nearby Target.
if someone understands the reasoning for this design, let us know. I cant think of the benefits with this weird design
Yes, this is regular price. Sad state when something common and basic for the last 150 years like canning jars is in stock and considered a slickdeal. Last year was my first time ever I saw price gouging and supply issues that I can remember. Walmart, Tractor Supply, and Target still had them at their normal pricing but stock was hit or miss.
Alternative.. Lids from various jars of mayo fit the regular mouth canning jars to. Look around for other potential things in your frig. Grated Parmesan cheese lid, country store jellies and jam lids etc. chances are you already have some perfectly good lids when those products are used up.

Second this. Grabbed a set at my local Target for $8.99 last night.

Funny thing is I don't have kids and I live in a Suburb north of Boston with a medium sized yard. So I don't even have the kids to help, and hubby wants no part of the garden. But theres nothing like eating your own homemade salsa or jarred peaches in the middle of the winter. So I keep at it. Plan on expanding the garden this year and maybe someday a greenhouse to extend the growing season.
