Does anyone know where I can get Ball Jar regular mouth canning lids?

[japple]

I got some at amazon earlier this year, but blackberries are prolific this year and I need many more. I read in the reviews at amazon that people have ordered Ball lids and have gotten counterfeit ones made in and shipped from China. I can find Ball Jars WITH lids, but I've got plenty of jars--I just need lids.

1. I can find them at Walmart and most hardware stores.And then there is the internets..YMMV nt

2. I know exactly what you need.

The question is how many do you need?

[japple]

12. I need at least 4-5 dozen lids. I have jars, I have the screw bands, I just can't find the lids.

After blackberries, I will have pickles, then tomatoes.

[Delmette2.0]

17. I will see what i can find today.

It isn't canning season here yet.

3. Hardware stores. Maybe even Home Depot.

4. Try Target

My black berries are crazy this year too. I've already done 20 jars of jam.

I bought a big package of just lids from target a few years ago. Also look in your grocery store in the barbecue/household "tools" aisle. Shop Rite had them.

7. My target carries them too

5. I love blackberry preserves

Hope you find those lids.

6. Tractor Supply has them

22. Yes, I reckon any farm supply store will have them.

8. I have bought them many places in the past. This year I cannot find them at Kroger, Tractor Supply,

Target, ACE Hardware, Lehman's Hardware or Walmart. I can find jars with lids, but not just the lids and that is all I need. Delmette, I need at least 48-50.

14. When I put in my zipcode at TSC, it says that they are not available in my area. Shipping is not

available to my store or my home.

9. Our local TruValue has them.

Wow! 50 jars worth of blackberries! I'm jealous!

[MontanaMama]

10. I saw a ton of them at Target.

Ace Hardware has them too. Regular mouth lids and rings.

[japple]

15. When I tried to order from Target, this is the message I get

when I put in my zip code: We work hard to offer the same selection to all our guests, but some items have shipping restrictions based on zip code.

[MontanaMama]

20. Hmmm. That's weird.

Does your local Target have them in-store? I'm also seeing them on the Tractor Supply website. Maybe there's one of those near you? Or, another farm/ranch/feed store? It's frustrating when you need something basic and can't find it. There are still supply issues all over the country.

11. Our local ACE hardware has them

I bought some there for my wife. Do you have an ACE near you?

[japple]

13. Yes. And they don't have any. Neither does Tractor Supply.

16. Oddly enough, I've found all my lids at the thrift stores.

I didn’t realize how difficult it is just to find the lids that include the rings. I come across them used in bags in great condition or in the original boxes unused, mostly at the larger thrift stores, but a few at the locally-owned as well. This is where I’ve found unopened boxes of jars really cheap, too.

[japple]

18. I have found jars at thrift stores and jars with old rusty lids, but never useable or new

lids that can be used for canning. I don't need rings. I just need flat lids that have the rubber seal on them. These are not supposed to be re-used.

[WhiteTara]

19. grocery stores in the canning section.

You'll find pectin and lids and jars of all sizes. Walmart is a definite.

[japple]

24. I can find pectin, I can find pickling stuff, I can find jars with lids and I can find

all sorts of other canning stuff but no boxes with just lids. Not even any boxes with lids & bands. I just need lids.

[WhiteTara]

25. well

amazon is 2 day shipping

[japple]

26. I ordered some "genuine Ball lids" from amazon last year. They were in counterfeit Ball Corp boxes

(you know, with the fuzzy pictures and the American flag on the box) but the shrink wrap on the pkg. says "made in China" and there is no Ball logo on the lids. I read tons of comments where people said their jars didn't seal.

So I placed an order with amazon a couple months ago for Ball lids & bands. I tried to order 6 boxes but they put a limit of 2 boxes on my order. They were the real thing and I am grateful to have them, but I need more. My SIL and niece are canning tomatoes and making blackberry jelly, too.

21. I just read online that there's still a shortage

on canning supplies. Damn.

[Mr.Bill]

23. Canning supplies in general have been scarce during the pandemic.

We have had our best luck at home improvement stores, but even there it's hit and miss.

[Patterson]

27. Walmart has them during normal times.

[yellowdogintexas]

28. they actually freeze pretty lwell You can also make jelly, jam or preserves. and use paraffin

to seal the jars. Frozen blackberries make a decent cobbler

I have found them at supermarkets, but the best place is a smaller grocery in a farming area. We used to be able to get just the seals so we could re-use the rings.
