a rather large number of jamjars from here

 

They will supply jars at a very reasonable cost (much cheaper than Lakeland).

 

My main expense is getting them shipped over here, mainland delivery would be a lot less.

 

If anyone needs jars I would recommend them for their low cost and friendly, helpful customer service.

 

Now all I need to do is find where to store 12 boxes of jars (each box contains 54 jam jars)

 

Think I'll be making a lot of marmalade and jam this year!

[Falkor]

am I being dim or do they not list prices on the website?

 

 

I have my jam jars stashed under the stairs behind the hoover as OH never touches the hoover LOL!

[Goosey Lucy]

No, you're not being dim.

 

I've ordered the simple round jamjars, 370Food, about a 1lb jar as far as I can see, they are charging me £10.24 per box with 15%vat on top. Lids are £5.61 for 100.

 

So for a box of 56 jars and lids I pay £11.78 + £3.61 = £15.39 which works out at 28p for a jar and lid, so much cheaper than anywhere else I've found.

 

But then you have to add in delivery which to here is horrific due to the ferry etc.

 

I spoke with a lovely efficient lady called Anna, she was very helpful.

 

As mine are being delivered on a pallet I think I'll find a space in the garage for them!

Lucy that's 648 jam jars!!!!! You're going to be very busy!

[Redwing]

Thanks for the link - very useful

 

My FIL lives in Keynsham so I know where I may end up at some point

[Goosey Lucy]

Actually 672, there are 56 in a box not 54 like I first said.

 

Hopefully they'll last me for a while.

 

One of the reasons I hardly ever post on here is I'm trying to start a business selling at Farmer's Markets etc and having to keep reordering from Lakeland is costing me a fortune.

 

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

 

The lady on the phone did say that delivery to me was the same for 12 boxes...or 42 (the maximum they can get on a pallet) so did I want any more?

 

42 boxes would be ... 2352 jars

 

At least I turned this down!

[Mutrix Farmers]

I wish you every success with your venture!

[Goosey Lucy]

Thank you.

 

Still working on the name though

 

All usable suggestions gratefully received!

Beekeeping suppliers are good for Jars. We order ours in bulk for honey then I pinch them for my Jam and Chutney

Like you say its the delivery charge thats the dear part not the jars. We get ours from either Thornes or Masiemore.

[sunshinesupernova]

good luck !

 

Blimey - lots of jars. You'll need to work hard to fill that lot.

 

I'd love a good Aubergine chutney recipe if you have one.

 

I've just made a new spiced peach and pineapple jam for serving with meats and cheeses - you'll find it near the top at the moment. Woth a go to see if it's any good to you

[Goosey Lucy]

I've not made any aubergine chutney but there's a recipe here.

 

I'm starting with simple marmalades, orange, lemon, lime curd and strawberry jam (very cheap strawberries the other day).

 

I've a lovely spicy fruity chutney recipe I made at Christmas in my slow cooker if that's any use? It was delicious.

 

The peach and pineapple jam sounds good, I'll go and have a look, thanks

Have seen recycled jam jars being used at farmers market, I have lots as the people at work save them for me, If you need any just ask, storing them drives my husband mad!

[RutlandRooster]

If you're going to use lots of jars and have space to store them then buying on a pallet makes sense and gets a good price.

 

We use a local company to us (jamjarshop.com) and get a good price when bulk buying - don't have the space to take pallet loads - yet . . . .
