YYY Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Hi Everybody I haven’t checked in for a while, but do still read every day. I just haven’t felt that I had anything to contribute or a question to ask. Maybe y’all already know this. I don’t remember seeing prices this low anywhere. Today I went to Walmart. They have Jar Boxes now. The pint size (they were sold out) was $10.97 and the quart size was $12.97. I don’t know if these were a special price or an everyday price. I’ll be going to another Walmart to try to find some of the pint size. If anybody knows of a better price, please let me know. Hope this helps YYY Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Gosh YYY, I don't have much to add either but that doesn't keep me from posting away. Are you talking about the molded plastic ones or cardboard boxes. I'm not sure about the plastic ones except they are usually pretty expensive. But you can get cardboard boxes with the dividers pretty cheaply online at Uline. I've never ordered them but I would if I needed them. Guess I wasn't much help. But we all knew I'd still post something. http://www.uline.com/BL_29/Canning-Jar-Boxes Quote Link to comment

The WE2's Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Sometimes you can get these types of boxes from floral shops :-) May have to use your box cutter to lower them, but they have the dividers. When we deliver for a local florist, that's what they have us sit the vases etc., in to keep them from tipping. They pitch a lot of them...and if you can get them, they're "free".

Mt_Rider Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Cool recycle/freebie idea, WE2. Wonder if Safeway would have them...and give them away? My canning boxes are getting pathetically old but I can't fork over for the plastic ones. They look great tho...the plastic ones. Esp. in earthquake country! MtRider Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'd like to have some of the plastic ones too but I have too many filled canning jars to be able to afford them. The only place I've seen the plastic ones is Lehman's and they were $17.00 for 2 sets. Or $4.25 for each tray. Hummm. When I break it down that way it doesn't seem so bad. I suppose you wouldn't have to store them with the lid on them. Maybe stack 3 high without the lid and just use a lid for the top one to keep out dust.https://www.lehmans.com/p-5459-canning-jar-storage-boxes-pint-size.aspx Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Like many...I have WAY too many jars canned :-) We always leave the flaps on the original boxes, and fold the flaps down to keep out dust etc. Since I no longer buy Ball or Kerr etc., jars (haven't for some time) I don't even have the boxes that the new jars come in. Still have some canned food in them (left the plastic around the bottoms and sides) though :-) Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 None of my boxes have flap lids. All of the boxes came with plastic wrapped around 3 sides. I did cut around the top to leave a sort of a lid. It helps a little bit keeping the dust out. Quote Link to comment
Suncat Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Visit a liquor store and ask them about boxes.. you may find some with the dividers that will reasonably fit your jars. Quote Link to comment
Canned Nerd Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I just ordered new boxes and insert separaters for Pint jars from ULINE (http://www.uline.com) at a cost of $4.00 each + shipping. They also offer for other size jars also and inserts are optional but I prefer them since they provide added strength when stacking. 10 KT S-18943 PINT CANNING JAR BOX KIT $2.80 $28.00 12 EA S-17491 16 OZ. REGULAR MOUTH CANN $1.20 $14.40 Quote Link to comment
Canned Nerd Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Oops I blew it on my previous post. I ordered a carton of pint jar boxes and inserts, thinking they were separate items, but the first item (S-18943) is "both" the box and the inserts. I didn't see the "kit" in the description. The second item was actually a dozen pint jars, the last thing I needed under the circumstances since I have several hundred empty jars already. The reason I know is because the shipment just arrived and I was surprised to find a case of pint jars in the box besides the boxes and inserts. It wasn't until I had another jolt of caffeine and re-read the packing list over a few times that the smarts finally sunk in. Quote Link to comment
Mt_Rider Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Canned Nerd..... Some days I REALLY wish I didn't detest coffee so very much. The "jolt of caffeine" would be so handy. Hopefully you can sort out your order. MtRider <------not drinking coffee despite this smilie! Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 LOL Canned. Welcome to my world! Quote Link to comment
Trudy Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Wish I had known this last month when I moved over 500 jars. What a pain- I hope I never have to move again. I do think I'll order some just to store clean jars in. Quote Link to comment
