Canning Jars in Center City/Mt Airy

[doxiemom]

I am putting up my figs and tomatoes this week, and had forgotten I had donated a box of 1 qt jars to a neighborhood kid's school project last spring. Now I am short and cannot seem to find jars in the city. ACME and SuperFresh used to stock them (they were overpriced, but they were there), but I stopped at both last night and none carried them.

Does anyone know where I can pick up canning and/or jelly jars in Philly?

A couple of months ago, I wrote a blog post all about finding canning jars in Philly and beyond.

I've found that Wegmans has the best prices and widest selection. The Acme on Germantown Ave. In Mt. Airy has them sometimes, typically on the baking aisle. ShopRite often has them as well, particularly the one in S. Philly by Target.

Good luck!

Thanks to all! I got them at Stanley's Hardware just before the fruits dissolved into a puddle on the kitchen counter.

I know Rittenhouse Hardware on 20th Street in Center City has canning jars, usually.

Nearish to Mt Airy: Stanley's Hardware on Ridge Avenue in Roxborough.

Fante's has them.

I'm not sure, but have you checked Kilian's Hardware in Chestnut Hill? They have everything I've ever gone in there to look for, and many things I never knew I needed until I saw them. :-)

I love Killian's too, and am sure they have them - but they close so early! And my tomatoes are not going to make it to the weekend!
