ottawa foodies

Anyone seen them recently?

I checked Canadian Tire on Carling and they did not - though I am pretty sure that is where I've gotten them before. I don't think I've ever seen them at Loblaw / Superstore. Speaking of which actually, many locations have their mason jars on for half price right now - my wife cleaned out Carlingwood the other night :-)

Depends on how many you need, Zym. Michaels has some, but they're about $8 a piece....we used three of them for the wedding (and collected lots of other jars) for centerpieces.

Oi! Definitely not going to pay 8 bucks each for them!

Looking for a couple of dozen

$8 each?! are you sure that's not for a 4-pack or something. that's absurd!

check out Home Hardware

I'm looking for 250 ml mason jars. They are a tough size to find today. everyone is making jam in ottawa!

Canadian Tire, and Home Hardware always seem to have some kicking around.

Dont forget walmart, they all have stands with jars and stuff this time of year. The one on richmond deffinetly has some. Ill check size tomorow.

Zellers as well!

Canadian Tire will almost always have 250s. There were some at the Carling store the other day when I was there.

I thought of all those places (except Michaels - oi!) but was really hoping someone could tell me the actually saw them someplace recently, to save me the running around.

Wal-Mart Lincoln Fields is VERY well stocked with jars, but no 1.5L

They do have both Bernardin and (the less expensive) Golden Harvest in 250s though.

Home Hardware in Hintonburg has no 1.5L. They have 1 box left of 250s.

Still no 1.5L sightings?

Please keep your eye out for me, folks, when you are out and about. Or is that "aboot"? No doot aboot it!

I believe that it's pronounced "aboat."

Still no 1.5L sightings?

Zym - I was at Rona last night and noticed they had 1l jars - no 1.5l though.

Thanks. I've got way more 1L than I'll ever use again since I don't use them much. Guess I'd better start eating pickles and kraut to free up some of my 1.5L that I have already :-) And in the future until I can find more, I'll use the 1.5 for storage and use those 1L for pickles and kraut.

I think I saw some at Preston hardware yesterday.

I was there the other day myself and looked pretty hard in that stack in the center area near the back exit, and did not see any.

Have you looked at second hand stores? I have bought some at Salvation A. and places like that in the past. Some used, but many brand new in the box...
I will look on the Quebec side for you.

Preston Hardware has 1/2 US gallon (2 US quart or 1.89L) mason jars 6 for $12. They are on the bottom shelf on the exterior wall by the cash registers by the side entrance.

Bump...
I saw the 1.9 L mason jars today (in 6 packs) at Metro at Greenbank Square. The canning season has begun.
