Trudy Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I don't know if all Fred's have the same sale or not, but ours has reg. mouth pint and quart jars for $4 a dz. and wide mouths for 4.50. Lids for .75. All other canning supplies were 25% off. Quote Link to comment
Andrea Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 WOW! At those prices, I would clear them out! We don't have a Fred's here. Quote Link to comment
ScrubbieLady Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Haven't heard about a sale around here. Our local Fred's sends their unsold canning equipment back to the warehouse. They already have the best prices so they don't put stuff on sale(per the manager). Are these Golden Harvest or Kerr products? Quote Link to comment
Dee Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Never heard of Fred's but sure wish there were some around here. Great prices Trudy, hope you got plenty! Quote Link to comment
Trudy Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 DH took me back to Fred's and got 4 boxes of jelly jars for $4 each and 4 boxes of Sure-Jell for 1.90 each. I bought a quart bag of bulk fruit pectin for $2 from an Amish store when we went to Indiana last year. Now that dd has moved back home, I don't have a reason to go there now. I guess I need to check out prices and order some. ScrubbieLady, the wide mouth jars are Ball, and the reg. were Golden Harvest. Dee, Fred's is a Dollar Store. Maybe it's just a southern chain? They have the best prices on jars all year long. Mostly Golden Harvest brand and their reg. jar flats are always $1 a dozen. I've never had a problem with them. Quote Link to comment
Dee Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I bought some bulk pectin from the Amish last year and I didn't like it. None of my jars of jelly/jam set up no matter what fruit I used. I went back to Sure-Jel. I've bought Golden Harvest jars and flats both at Dollar General and never had a problem. I like their prices at the end of the season but they aren't as good as Fred's.

Trudy Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 I had a lot of jelly that didn't set right last year! Maybe it was the pectin!! Never thought of that. Quote Link to comment

Their home office is in Memphis and my hubby used to work about 1/2 mile down the road. I buy all my canning jars and lids(Golden Harvest) from them. No one around here beats the prices. They are actually in the southeast. Anybody want to check....if you are in the southeast check here to see if there is a Fred's near you. http://www.fredsinc.com/ Quote Link to comment
