      <content>Most hardware stores carry them year round.  I've had success at Ace, Menards and some independent stores.  Sometimes Jewel/Osco carry them, but they might be more seasonal.</content>

      <content>If you need a lot of jars, the above posts have answered you. If you need just two or three, thrift shops usually have a few. Make sure the rims aren't chipped and put them through the dishwasher and they'll be fine with new tops. I use Mason jars for refrigerator storage because, being vertical, they save space. Especially useful for soup are the big 1.5 quart size.</content>
