That site's dangerous, I could buy so much there. How about 100m of cloche plastic for £22.

i'm pretty much sorted out now, but thanks very much for the offer  :)

try http://www.jarsandbottles-store.co.uk we get all our pickling jars from them, we use this one http://www.jarsandbottles-store.co.uk/index.php/glass-jars-with-lids/16oz-pickling-jars.html

I remember someone recommending Sainsburies Basic Curry @ 9p a bottle the jars are cheap.
I sometimes raid the bottle recycling banks

I always ask round at work once in March, once in July and again in September.... generally I'm turning them away... I concentrate on getting big ones(cos beetroot eats up jar space like nothing else in my workd as far as I can tell, but I do a lot of interim pickling of gherkins that will end up in picallilli, so the small jars can be handy too... plus it means I can give the bottle donators (there are two or three who always give me plenty) small jars of my various pickled fayre.... I need to keep replacing though cos my picallilli recipe thins glass quite quickly and they become too thin to use in a couple of years.
