donna4909 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I wonder if I'm paying too much for my jelly jars. I have to get them from Food City, since Wal-Mart stops stocking them during winter. I'm paying $6 per dozen of 4 oz. jelly jars ($6.58 with tax). Is that expensive? I believe the 8 oz. size is $8 per dozen.The thing I like is that they are quilted, so you can't see wet spots & they come with labels so you can write the scent on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaVA Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 The best thing to do is research various suppliers near you and see if their prices (with shipping added in) are cheaper or at least comparable. You can call to get shipping quotes and usually you get a huge UPS discount for buying more than 200 pounds of stuff. So if you can get your wax and jars with a shipping discount, then you may be able to save money. Do a little research and crunch some numbers.

mking Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Anytime you can buy products locally and not have shipping you might save. I live in Utah an everything has to beshipprd even the local places are higher than if I paid shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quietgirl2004 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I pay over 7.00 for them locally here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommaD Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 That's the same price that they are here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 About the same for me. $6.59 for a case of 12 from local store. I figure even if I found it cheaper elsewhere, after factoring in shipping it wouldn't be cheaper anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carey Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I have been wondering what happened to the 8oz jars at my Walmart.. I have been looking all week for them to restock. Mine go for 7$. I'd hate to order, I think it's cheaper to have them at stores! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mckymousefn Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 If you have a Meijer near you... they usually carry the different sizes of Jelly's and they range from $6 up to $8, depending on the size of the jelly jar.Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 That is a high price. You can get the smooth sided here http://www.bittercreeksouth.com/containers.htm 1 - Case of 12 jars $3.75 12 lids $1.44 approx shipping of 20% $1.04 Total $6.23 or $0.52 each with lidThey are also much cheeper when you by 144 or moreAs you can see these are much cheeper, even with shipping, than local.

Candle Man Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Bumping this up for those that buy there Jelly Jars local. You pay more local than you would ordering them with shipping. Plus you get the one piece lid not a ring with a seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carey Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I want to thank CANDLEMAN to refer this site to me. I ordered the jars from them (Bittercreek) and these jars are sooo much better than the local stores! even my friends and family agree. I ordered the square masons and apothecarys, for a great price! I think they ended up like 1.00/1.50 each. I just got them in yesterday (only took a few days!) and I'm about to go play with them Thanks again!!!!!!!

LynnS Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I also agree with CandleMan.When I first started I was getting my jars at BIG LOTS.They were $4.99(12).Now they are up to almost $6 in just over a year.They are as high as the other stores.With just getting started I had no idea about the one piece lids.So after making candles a few months I hated the 2 piece.I had no idea where to get the one piece till finding them on BC site.I was happy.Finally got one piece lids.So it is cheaper to get it all at once than to get jars local and lids at BC.LynnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
