Our local Walmart has had lots of jars. Wide mouth quarts, pints, and half pints. Lots of lids too. We just bought 20 more cases of jars and extra lids. I think this year will be tougher than last.

I don't think they'll be as hard to find this year, mostly because the past few years have seen panic buying, and first time canners. Many of the first timers found out that there is a lot of work to a garden and to putting that stuff up, and they quit doing it.

We found an Amazon chink lid last year that works okay, and have found several boxes of Ball lids at the walmarks this spring.
I noticed that dollar general is selling a chink lid this year instead of the golden harvest lids. Haven't bought any and don't plan on it if I can help it.

Laid in a supply last year. Been picking up a few boxes when I see them at the store. Bought a couple boxes of tattlers. Haven't tried them out yet.
