Lids

[lulubell]

Hiya again

Just wondering if anyone knows where the cheapest place to get replacement lids for my jars without really high postage prices.
Thanks xx

[Florence Fennel]

What sort of jars do you use? I only use recycled ones that I save, or friends save for me. Sometimes if the jars don't have lids I just seal them with cling film and use those first.

Why do you need replacement lids?

[WendyC]

Lakeland do them. Don't know if you have a shop near you.

Try ebay as well..

Hiya I use recycled jars but most of my jars are from pickles and I can't get rid of the pickle smell from the lids as I want to make Jam and was worrying the pickle odour would effect the jam xx

[rustylady]

Ah I see. The pickle smell doesn't affect the jam itself but when you open the jar who get a whiff of vinegar. My daughter in law wouldn't touch the blackberry and apple jelly because of this, but son said it was lovely.

Thanks all will take a look at the sites xx

[Florence Fennel]

Have you soaked the lids in hot, soapy water with some sodium bicarbonate dissolved in it? It gets rid of most smells. I'd cling film the top of the jar before putting on the lid. Hope you get sorted

[Two_Sheds]

yes, you might get lucky. I sold my spares for 10p (�3 worth, brand new!)

... and the buyer had the gumption to complain about P&P costs *tut*

[lulubell]

Thanks Florence Funnel will give that a try.
Two Shed will keep looking on ebay too. xx
