How many of you enjoy preserving food via the home canning method? I love it and I’ve been canning for over 30+ years! I’ve canned all kinds of things for my family to enjoy: fruits, vegetables, soups, stews, sauces, salsas, jams, jellies, marmalades, and more! I’m experienced with both pressure canning and the water bath methods.

Over the years I’ve used many different brands of glass mason jars, rings, lids, and accessories. Some brands are better than others. Some cost a lot more than their more affordable counterparts, and so forth.
One of my favorite AFFRODABLE brands to use is Golden Harvest. I’ve used their glass mason jars, rings and lids for years! I like them because they’re affordable and the quality is great! Unlike a lot of the other brands the products are made in the U.S.A.
Here’s an example of how you can save money by switching from a well-known popular brand (I don’t bash brand names) to Golden Harvest.
Two months ago I purchased a box of 12 lids of Name Brand for $10.99 per box. At the Dollar General Store I’ve been purchasing boxes of the Golden Harvest Mason Canning Jar Lids for $3.00, sometimes $3.50 a box depending on which store I shop. In my honest opinion, they’re just as reliable and as good as Name Brand that we’re all familiar with.
I wanted to make this post today to share my opinion & thoughts with other home canners who are looking to save some money on their expenses. Over the past 4 1/2 years that I’ve been using Golden Harvest Lids I’ve ONLY have had 1 jar not properly seal and trust me, I do at least 150+ jars a year. No lid will give you 100% positive results but I find that to be awesome!
If you don’t live near a Dollar General Store or if your store doesn’t carry them you can find them on Amazon for a decent price too. Not only do I like the quality and price of these lids…but I really LOVE that I’m supporting a U.S.A. company.

I have canned with Golden Harvest lids, rings and jars for many years..50+ to be more specific…and I have always had terrific success with them unlike the New Silver Ball bands and lids which “exploded” all over inside my pressure canner..the rings are not strong enough…I’m hunting bargains on the Golden Harvest products right now because I know how good they are..don’t be afraid to use them, ladies and gents…they are a good good product
I am going to look at these lids when I get to a Dollar General. There are great buys to be found there.
I know you do a lot of canning.I know which name brand you are probably talking about. I have never heard of Golden Harvest but that is a huge price difference!
