Mmm why drive 25 miles when with Amazon its 2 clicks delivered to your door (12 lids fro $14.50). You can stay in your PJ’s. LOL
Why would you pay 14.50 for 12 lids when you can buy 12 jars with lids for 6.99-7.99 anywhere
I am finding jars for $15.00

This is the unfortunate outcome in a lot of brick and mortar stores. Most are bleeding a slow, but inevitable death. 20 years from now I’m going to wish there were brick and mortar stores to bitch about.
This is sad but true. I don’t think it will take 20 years. The path to Death has all been the same. Smaller somewhat local sporting goods store ( Holiday Sports, Burger Brothers, Fleet Farm ) All doing really well and running a successful and profitable business. All being run by smart REAL outdoorsmen who do their own buying and ordering – Knowing what sells best in their area. Owners get approached by Major BIG box companies to sell. Owners decide its a good time to get rich and cash in and do so. New Big box companies come in and Take away buying and purchasing from local Managers and turn it over to some young fancy college graduate who doesn’t know the difference between a Musky baitcaster and a panfish ultralight and calls calls all Ammo Gun bullets. Oh by the way. Lets forget about all the low margin items that bring people into the store. and just focus on the high $ markup items like guns and clothing. A few years later and they are going out of business. Yes online retail has had a part in the death of retail stores. But in the case of sporting goods I think its a much smaller part that Poor ownership and management is.
Shop your local hardware store they have all the canning supplies you need… And the money stays in your community

My local hardware store literally has grey hair women standing in line while the put the Ball lids out on the shelf. Across the aisle their husbands are standing at the gun counter clamoring over the last 2 boxes of steel case .45 ACP and blaming millenials for the current ammo shortage.
What fishnutbob said plus it seems Rumnings has been well stocked with fishing goods when I occasionally stop at the monticello store, cant speak on canning supplies. Im all but done with FF. Otherwise, I usuall go to small shops and scheels in cloud. Runnings opening in St. Cloud sometime in the near future.
