Heads up! Canning jars and lids shortage and reports of price gouging. Is it getting harder to find jars, lids, and other canning supplies where you live? If so, you may not be alone. Reports of shortages and even price gouging are coming in from all over...
It's possible that the factories that supply raw materials like aluminum are closed/closing or having difficulty finding workers...
I’m in Alabama and there are no jars or lids to be found. When things get “normal” again, I will be buying up a few years supply of canning lids. God Bless Everyone!!
First toilet paper then Lysol now canning jars along with freezers and refrigerators. It’s only just begun ...
Ball is still making jars and lids, but they had an estimate of how many they need every year, and this year, suddenly, everyone is canning. People who have never canned before are canning. This very same thing happened in the 1970's during the recession, and Ball's corporate leaders failed to predict the amount they would need. It actually went to congress, you can Google it . So, it won't be forever, just stock up when you CAN. (no pun intended) wink.
Some areas of the country seem to be having shortages while other areas have canning supplies in normal quantities. What's going on?
