We are a wholesale Soy wax & candle supply company. We're new, but we have the contacts. Unfortunately, the answer to this questions is you can't get them cheap. Why? Simply put, to get them cheap, you have to buy them by the thousands, sometimes by the tens of thousands! In fact, almost all manufacturers (the cheapest people to buy from) always require a minimum purchase. Usually, this minimum purchase is not something that is possible to small time buyers. The good news, when several small time buyers come together to pool their orders & purchase as one large company, you suddenly have true wholesale buying power! With the extra shipping required to deliver everyone's items however, you may not be able to get them for a "Minimum" cost, but you will find that in the end they're cheaper than retail! So, for everyone here to acquire jars at a wholesale company rate, everyone would have to pull together, on faith or contract, and use their combined buying power to accomplish this. Further questions can be directed to me by email at megabids@insightbb.com

The best buy I have found so far on canning jars is at Dollar General Store, they sell the Golden Harvest jars for $5.00 a case with lids, I have checked many sites on the web, you can purchase the jars for less but they don't include the lids or shipping. After you have paid shipping, and for the lids, the cost is slightly higher. I'm still looking for a better buy. I have a small Salsa business and go through a lot of jars. I hope to find them less exepensive.

I have found that the mason jars are cheaper at the dollar stores but be aware...I purchased 6 dozen of quart jars and found they are larger than most quarts. I could only get six quarts into a seven quart pressure cooker. I did not have this trouble last year and wondered why they were larger this year. They were golden harvest #49281-43204. I doubt that purchasing them at the dollar store was the problem, but suspect it was a malfunction in making the jars.

I have also found the jars at Big Lots. They are approximately $5.49 for the pint size and $6.49 for the quart size here in Louisiana. It's a bit higher than the Dollar Store, but still cheaper than the net. I am totally amazed that there is no access via the net to a wholesale or bulk selling company.

Contact the company who makes the jars and ask for their wholesale prices. You will have to be a business with a tax number and will probably have to buy anywhere from $50.00 or more worth of product. Hope this helps.
