ScrubbieLady Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I have a friend at the local farmers market who sells canned jams, jellies, and pickles. Well, his wife passed away last year at this time and he is only coming now to sell what he has in stock. He asked me today if I used quart jars. Well, I use very few and have plenty. He said if I know someone who needs them to give them his phone number. He has about 5-6 cases of brand new quarts (I think regular mouth) that he will sell for $5.00/case. He says he has total about 300 jars so I am figuring that means over 200 used. If you are interested, pm me and I will give you his phone number. He is in Byhalia, MS. BTW. he also has a large stock(about 200 or so) of the large peanut bags. Brand new and he wants to sell them but I don't know what he wants for them. I got one to use to hang onions.

ScrubbieLady Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 Well, I am glad you are. I think I would begin to wonder if you weren't. lol Quote Link to comment
Mt_Rider Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Wormie's "good"? That needs a definition! Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 He did say, "This time". Quote Link to comment
WormGuy Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Good, used as an adjective, noun, or adverb. Definition=I have almost too many jars now. Key word is "almost". I could get them but I'm concerned if I do I may have to sleep with them & I don't think they would be comfortable to snuggle up to. John Quote Link to comment
snapshotmiki Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Where is Byhalia, ScrubbieLady? I'm near Magnolia, MS Quote Link to comment

Daelith Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I don't need any quart jars at this time. He might try one of the resale pages on Facebook for that area or craigs list. Just make sure to arrange to meet in a public place for the exchange. Or a yard sale. Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Made a true haul this weekend. Stopped at a yard sale and picked up six cases of quart & pint jars and severa cases of mayo jars (I'll use them for vacuum sealing) for $20 :-) They're dusty and will need a good cleaning but couldn't pass up a deal like that.

ScrubbieLady Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 I mentioned craigslist to him. He is not too much on computers (he is 75+) but his son is and I think they will be doing that. He may be selling at First Monday in Ripley, MS to finally get rid of everything canned and I am going to suggest that he at least take the new ones there to maybe sell. He offered them to me (I don't use quarts) but also a couple of other canned foods vendors at the market. They turned them down. Apparently prefer to pay the much higher price at Wal-Mart. He and his late wife bought jars by the dozens of cases from the local Fred's. Fred's usually has the best prices around here but the local manager also gave him a better price due to how much they bought at one time. Quote Link to comment
Daylily Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Well, If I lived close, I would certainly take him up on his offer! Quote Link to comment
Mt_Rider Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Me too, Daylily. MtRider ....I missed a whole BASEMENT FULL of canning stuff by about a week. The relatives took it all ....to the dump! Quote Link to comment
