Canning stuff on clearance!!

[TanksHill]

Well I was at the big WM near me today. I was picking up some more yarn for my Knifty Knitter projects. Anyways, I usually go through the linen section to see if they have anything good on clearance. I am working on heavy weight blankets / window coverings for keeping out the cold. That's another topic.

But I found canning supplies. 48 boxes of regular lids for 50 cents a box. and 10 boxes of wide mouth platinum rings and lids for 1 buck per box. Of course I bought them all. With the 2 cases I bought in spring I think I'll be covered for a while. They also had cases of pickle spices as well as some salsa seasonings. I bought a couple of each. I usually don't use the pre made seasonings but at 50 cents a bag.

I guess I just wanted to share because the WM near you may be doing the same thing.

Good luck, gina

Cool! Thanks Gina

I tried the pickle mix and it left a lot to be desired. It is fine as a base but you gotta add all the seasoning...garlic, dill red pepper etc. My first batch I just used the mix and it tasted like pretty plain pickles! ok for a sandwich but not good enough to eat on their own, you know?

Great deal! Our WalMart's clearanced out the canning stuff weeks ago, and the prices never got that low. I did get several dozen boxes of flat lids at TSC, though, for .99 per box, which is the best price I've seen here, ever. Snagged 'em all, of course!

Thanks for the heads up. Guess I'll have to run out and do some shopping as soon as I get back home.
I'm hoping that our peppers survived the frosts, so I can still make some pickled peppers.
