What’s the cheapest online place for buying gallon glass jars in bulk? I wonder if the shipping weight is really going to make the price crazy. I should probably look around for a place where I can buy locally. Anybody know of a store in the Everett, Seattle WA vicinity that sells them?
Thanks

If I was packing by the gallon, I would use plastic milk jugs. But that's just me.

I would be filling them with raw raspberry honey which crystallizes very quickly.

Update on Sailor Plastics...

Ordered 225 12-ounce bottles with flip top caps last Tuesday after reading this thread. They were delivered 3 days later (Friday morning). Total cost = $113.89 (w/shipping), about 50 cents per bottle. Heckuva deal.

I am set for a couple of years now.

Thanks for the update Nabber!!! I'm glad it worked out for you. I also ordered this year and hopefully won't be set for a couple years, but for this year and the start of next I'm set. Happy selling / eating!!!!

The cheapest that I have found for new jars is Big Lots right now. $7.25 for a case of 12 pint jars with lids.

Fuzzy

If you don't have a Big Lot our Dollar General is 7.50 for pints or 1/2 pints with lids, can't come close online once you include shipping.
As far as Sailors goes I bought 1lb and 2lb jars one week and 2 weeks later bought the same thing when they arrived they had doubled the shipping without telling me first. Won't use them again.
