It might just be local, but at the Target in Greenville NC we found canning jars of various sizes for about 1.25-1.50 off depending on jar size. Needless to say, we grabbed a few. We do plan on making things we regularly eat like soups and canning some. My wife has even found a recipe for cream of whatever the hell you want and we plan on storing some of that. The premade stuff is always ridiculously high in sodium.
