Jarden 60000 Ball 1/2-Pint Mason Jars, 12 Pack
$8.99
I looked at Walmarts and Home Depot trying to find these 8oz type jars and couldn't find them anywhere. These a great little jars for canning jellies and making gifts with them. They have cute little designs on the glass and come with bands AND lids.

Outstanding quality and made in the USA
I have recently taken up gourmet cooking and have found the Ball containers to be the best out there. I could not be happier.

Anchor Hocking 2-Gallon Heritage Hill Jar with Glass Lid
$34.57
I bought a set of these with one and two gallon containers. They do look good, and "seemed" like they would be great. However, anything stored in them IS SUBJECT to getting GLASS CHIPS in it with use. DO NOT STORE FOOD IN THESE!

I used these for cereals, rice, etc. Any little bump and the rims will chip glass into your food! You may not notice this until too late!

This happened unnoticed and I made rice one day (stored in one of these) and my family found glass chips in their rice!

It's just not worth it! I've used other ones that actually have a little rubber seal on the rim (These do not) and liked them until I saw another chip...

Now I'm using 100% stainless steel containers, with the stainless steel lids (with rubber seals) that have glass tops (like some cookware has) and never have to worry about my family's safety again.

Quality jars, lids fit nicely, with nice rubber seals on the bottom. All in all a good buy for a quality product.
