Fortunately the two-piece lids are cheaper if you already have the
rings. I suspect most of us still have a lot of rings.

Stopped by the local thrift store today and bought two dozen pint jars
for a dime apiece, and two boxes of unopened lids for a quarter apiece.
Just as I walked in they were putting them on display so I snapped them
all up. Lid boxes look like the latest Ball lids so I'm hoping they're
still good.

I'll bet there's not many takers at $4.95 a dozen + shipping.
We'll stick to snap lids and rings.
$4.95 US dollars will buy me 5 dozen snap lids with enough left over
for a chocolate bar ;-).

I agree. And since I paid less than a dollar a dozen for the lids I'm
currently using and I have so many rings like George says, there's no way
I'm buying those. Also, can someone point me to where it says they're
suitable for water-bath canning? The description I see says they're good
for FREEZING jam or craft products. Says they're used by commercial
canners, but that's not us.

Marilyn, I sent you an email. I hope it reaches you.

Barb, which email addy did you use? Hopefully not the one in the header
'cause that's absolutely bogus and doesn't exist.

Use my yahoo one, which is inkstndpsyche <invalid>@yahoo<invalid>.com.

Just remove the invalids and it will work.

As I said in my original post, the information about waterbath canning
is in their Fall 2009 catalog. I am on their mailing list.

"Moral indignation is in most cases two percent moral,
48 percent indignation, and 50 percent envy."
Vittorio De Sica, Italian movie director (1901-1974)

I've used the white ones, they work. I used a gift certificate to buy
them. Although, I will admit that when I did use them I was a little
skeptical that I would know for sure that they sealed properly. I've
also used the gold ones with the little boy fishing (???) on them.
Can't remember the name. They worked as well with the same above
apprehension. I kind of prefer the lid/ring combination as I know if
it sealed in the end or not right away.

I have also used the Italian jars with the one piece lids. (Bormioli
Rocco Quattro Stagioni) Got 'em off Amazon--again, using a gift
certificate. (Purchased a book too so I got free shipping for $25+
order.) They were the little 5 ounce ones with the odd-sized lid.
The price was very low, $3.15 for a set of 4 with the lids--bought 6
sets as that was all they had in stock. Right after my order arrived,
I noticed the price went up--drastically. Now they are $9.50/set so,
I guess it was either a pricing error or they were trying to blow-out
old stock??? They worked just fine, all of the ones I've used sealed
up great. I have purchased replacement lids at the container store
($1.29 for 3) so, when I run out, (or happen to be in Houston and can
buy more) I will use them for herbs/spices.
