Maybe the reason car doors are a jar, is because jars are used for canning?

We went to buy a freezer from a local appliance dealer back in June and were told that they were estimating availability in 3 months. Now a little over 1 1/2 months and still no freezer. They were blaming the shortage on lack of some of the components from over seas due to the virus. Said we were on a list of about 75 customers at that time. Couldn't find any other place that had one in June either.

I can't find flat lids around Jacksonville IL and there still is a shortage of freezers to. Must be a conspiracy to keep people from growing their own food. Andy

It's a store to store thing. Up by me, there were none to be had. Drove into downtown (less gardeners) found all kinds.

I haven't seen lids or canning salt around me for 6 weeks +. I lucked into one box of lids + rings... Didn't need the rings but sure needed the lids. Jars are generally available. I also think it is something to do with more people canning this year.

Just wondering what you guys paid for lids recently. The ones we got early were $2.29 per dozen for regular size.

Lots of them at the local Grocery stores here. Tomatoes, green beans just setting on. Mulberry trees never had anything on them. Grape vines loaded. Taters need dug. Zuk's going wild even with just 1/2"rain for past 45 days. Probably won't be able to find them in 2-3 weeks when there needed here.

regular size lids are hard to find here in Texas . Found a few big mouth jar lids at Ace Hardware store
Everyone must be canning. Even those who don't know how to can are trying to can.

Thanks for the response, I think we have enough right now, we are canning beans and tomatoes, but will need some for hot peppers and pepper relish, wife had bought a dozen jelly jars with bands and lids so we used those lids today, will use some wide mouth jars tomorrow. Wide mouth lids are available at local walmart, but we have a limited supply of those jars.

Brother said yesterday he couldn't find any at wally world or rural king. An orchard he visited had a few wide mouth lids for $5.?? per dozen. Central Ohio. No quart jars anywhere either. Said one of the employees at rural king told him they had tried to find another supplier for lids and jars and couldn't find any.

Bought several dozen a month or so back and haven't checked lately. Tomatoes and green beans are about done for this year but I will need to stock up for next year. Wife freezes our lima beans and peas. Jars were in short supply for a while but there seem to be plenty now.

My mother in law and my grandmother both mentioned they were having a hard time finding lids. Might be like deck boards. People have been home and decided to build decks and can I guess

have you tried the 'dollar' stores ? I found them cheaper for the SAME brands, go figure ?? I can't... when the lids are $1/12 ,on sale after canning season I usually buy 20-30$ worth of them. try to get ahead of next years 'fun'

Unable to buy regular canning jar lids locally, is this wide spread?
