That would be so convenient as I never actually can anything so don't need the metal lids and rings.Sumikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592651891242831465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-141925195674785329.post-28785779743441186372012-03-22T15:43:48.561-07:002012-03-22T15:43:48.561-07:00Have you seen the Ball plastic lids that fit canni...Have you seen the Ball plastic lids that fit canning jars? I think I paid $1.88 for 6 at Walmart. Nice because it is one piece and they don't rust.KellyChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14638915355557709473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-141925195674785329.post-46307379609386961222010-12-29T03:30:11.111-08:002010-12-29T03:30:11.111-08:00I don't dare buy chocolate chips in bulk.

It may well make sense from a financial perspective but I know perfectly well that a switch would flick inside my head and "MUST-EAT-CHOCOLATE" mode would take over. Chocolate chips never last for very long around me and the larger the quantity, the worse it gets. It's a strange one, because you could hand me a yard of chocolate and I wouldn't touch it but I can't leave chocolate chips alone.<br /><br />We don't have the bulk bins at our local <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.makro.co.uk/servlet/PB/menu/-1_l2/index.html">cash & carry</a> but I'd definitely consider buying from them, if it made financial sense. As you say, we've gotten so used to pre-packaging that anything else seems scary. But, as I always say, do the things that scare you. Particularly if it's going to save you money.Beckynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-141925195674785329.post-66825971702503353972010-12-06T16:16:35.377-08:002010-12-06T16:16:35.377-08:00I'm still scared of the bulk bins.

I'll buy items that are going to be cooked thoroughly, but no "ready to eat" things!Jenhttp://jeninslo.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-141925195674785329.post-454287262983912432010-12-03T10:11:41.460-08:002010-12-03T10:11:41.460-08:00Loved the post!
