Good idea on the wine boxes. I save the box the jars come in. I haven't bought jars in 10 years and I know they went sky high also. I just scored 3 dozen of wide mouth quart jars in their original box from a friend a month ago so I am at around 10 dozen plus my commercial jars which really work fine also.
Another thing to know I canned with some lids given to me that were 25 years old last year and the seals didn't fail so I am confident you can obtain a stash without any risk of them dryrotting.
