I went to one house and there was an old lady and we started chatting and she offered me her quart jars for $1.50 a dozen. This was when we first moved here 5 years ago and I think I bought like 6 dozen. And yes... freaks are cool! :o)<br /><br />Karl-- I see one or two jars here and there, but it's been a while since I found them by the dozen. Wish I could get some honey from you-- the local guy we bought our honey from hasn't advertised lately. He was old, so I wonder if he gave it up or passed on. He had some good honey and at $6 a quart, it was priced nice!jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772053505930801670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-31522864088610700512010-09-27T07:23:48.601-04:002010-09-27T07:23:48.601-04:00score, we are always on the look out for canning j...score, we are always on the look out for canning jars. there are no empties here except the ones queued for the honey harvest. <br /><br />good luck with the apples<br /><br />k-)Omelayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084221498316008069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-50799748899360300912010-09-26T11:14:32.461-04:002010-09-26T11:14:32.461-04:00I always ask why they are selling their jars and m...I always ask why they are selling their jars and most of the time people tell me it's easyer to go to the market and buy their food, then I ask them what they would do if something happened and there was NO market full of food? After that they look at me like I'm a freek, they think there will always be a market full of food.

Oh well, I'm happy with what I got, so I can't complain.<br /><br />Isn't that neat about the kerr jars?!? Shame they dropped that and don't date them anymore.jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772053505930801670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-4913150335368197192010-09-24T21:23:01.512-04:002010-09-24T21:23:01.512-04:00Nice find on the jars.

I'll have to keep an eye out to see if some of ours are marked.<br /><br />RonRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13630929746033282061noreply@blogger.com
