What do people use.

I am trying to increase my stock of kilner jars, the only problem is they are so big! I just feel you get a better seal with the Kilner type!
I do keep most of my jam jars and reuse them!

I use whatever I can get my hands on, the cafe always has plenty. I don't buy kilner jars but I get them given to me  sometimes and get them in charity shops.   Smile

I must admit I shall be keeping my eye open at charity shops, someone somewhere told me to try car boot sales, so may do that as well!

I think I have some kilner jars, some Agee jars, but we use Fowlers, they are Australian that use clips.  Lately though we have only make chutney and jam and use recycled pop top jars from supermarket things.

I must admit I reuse jars I get as well. Sometimes the big Kilner type jars are a0 too big and b0 to expensive to give away as presents
