Good deal on nice jars

[amandaandherveg]

I use a various assortment of jars for our own use but I wanted some nice ones for my jams, chutneys etc to give as presents. I ordered these and they arrived the next day, really nice quality with lids and the price includes delivery. They do them in smaller quantities but I bought the big box and split them with a neighbour.

Is that 42 jars and 42 lids????...or 84????

[Two_Sheds]

84 jars for £32 ? That's only 38p each, a bargain. By the time you've filled them with green tomato chutney, that's still only 50p per Xmas present!

[amandaandherveg]

Yup, 84 jars and lids, thought it was a bargain, especially as the carriage cost was included and they're really nice looking jars.

Going to label them up and use the little jute bags that I posted the link for in an earlier thread. Yes Two Sheds, they will make nice gifts, especially for the non jam/chutney makers. Now I just have to hope my tomatoes fatten up a little more.

Brill...I'm going to order some !!!

Thanks for letting us know about them.

[Nicos]

Oh typical.....I've missed the offer

Now I'm confused ( having never bought on e-bay) ...can I still buy even though it says the offer has gone, but pay the full price or something??

The skills you learn here on the Vine never cease to amaze me

Nicos, just go to the buyers shop - they are available there i bought some earlier

heres a link to the shop

eBay UK Shop - Emet Packaging: FeatherPost - Padded Bags, Strapping, Kilner jars

& they're the same price amanda paid, hope that helps

[amandaandherveg]

There's also loads of different types, shapes and sizes. I love eBay.

I'm going to have to put a stall outside my house at this rate, even with pressies, there's no way we can go through this much chutney, jams, relish, etc. It's time it stopped raining so I can do some gardening instead of cooking.

[Nicos]

Thanks! Will do

I buy my jars from this seller - first class service all round - quantity and quality and fast delivery at reasonable cost - even for delivery up to here !
Took delivery of 140 jars last week. Got 50 left, will be ordering more next week !

[Nicos]

Oh good!
Got my son to buy them for me as he's bought/sold on e-bay before!
One day I'll get the hang of this computer thing!!

Where would be the best site to buy some pretty labels for these jars? sorry to hi jack.

[amandaandherveg]

I found these folk when I was looking for labels, etc.

Jar Covers and Labels

An earlier thread had links to the best sites to design and customise your own free labels. Here's a link to the thread
