I keep seeing the Bernardin brand online and in stores.

Despite marketing themselves as “Canada’s trusted leader in mason jars… for over 100 years.”, I was surprised to see that they are actually made in the states.

Are there any canning jars still made in Canada?

    Thrift stores are full of mason jars but it’ll possibly cost you about the same or more than buying new ones.

      I’ve looked on kijiji, and yeah, some jars are like 4x more expensive than new.

      I’ll check out a few thrift stores, though 👍

        I’ve had decent luck wandering through thrift shops but even then, they’re still close to or slightly more expensive than new.

          As long as money stays out of American hands, I’m happy to pay more. I’ll take a look the next time I’m out.
