Ouch! Last week it was rice now it looks like we have to hoard this also.
The best price I have found for the regular mouth lids (Golden Harvest) is 99 cents for a box of 12 at Big Lots last year. Knock on wood they are still the same price.
Get them in June because they usually sell out fast.
The wide mouth lids cost an arm and a leg and I never see them at Big Lots and the price for them are around $2.50 for 12 at Wal-Mart
Sometimes you might get lucky on a closeout deal but I haven't seen one in a very long time (5 years) when I bought some wide mouth lids for a $1 a dozen and that inventory is really low.
I am not so particular with a lid brand. I very rarely get a seal failure with water bath canning and if I do its with a commercial thin rimmed jar that they recommend not using anyway and I have to use a lug lid instead of a two piece system to tighten it with.
