chuck_35550 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Good lesson,while I was trying to make up my blank mind about the SKS deal, they sold out the jars. I asked them if there would be anymore available, so who knows. Every one they had with any color lid was gone!Doh!Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 That sucks! I hate it when a supplier discontinues an item I use so I always try to find a backup supplier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 Well, the jars are back at SKS and I sent an e-mail to Fillmore to see what they would be willing to offer. Now I wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudMarineMom Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I know you mentioned you searched the internet for these jars. Have you looked at Freund Container and Supply in Illinois? They have the Salsa jars and lids in the 8, 12 and 16 ounce sizes. Not sure if it's cheaper than the price at SKS or what shipping would be. Here is a link to the 12oz jar page.http://www.freundcontainer.com/product.asp?pn=6240B15-BGood luck with your search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 That site has a 15.00 small order fee for anything under 75.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I hope you share what you find out. I would love to have a backup for my salsa jars. Right now I get the 12 and 16 oz jars at Fillmore. I live close enough I can drive out to Fillmore Containers in Lancaster, PA (drive is about 3 hours for me) to pick up jars to save on shipping.I keep hearing others complain about their supplier discontinuing the jars so I hope Fillmore keeps them in stock. But need another backup just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 I ordered 30 cases of 12 oz jars and lids with no shipping charge. Fillmore could not offer a better deal but they were very nice. I feel better knowing that there will be enough on hand raw materials for the upcoming busy season; so that if I need to order extra it won't catch me with empty hands. HTH.
