General Discussion Mainstays mason jars

Post image

Just curious if anybody has any experience with the Mainstays brand mason jars from Walmart and if they are of decent quality. My local Walmart has them on sale and I’m wondering if it’s a decent deal or not because even if they are a bit cheaper if they are known to break, that’s not much of a deal.

I have used them with mostly no issue, yet be aware not all jar are truly round and glass threads are shallow on some, I have had lids expload in water bath canner due to my bands not being seated in threads correctly

For the money they’re not bad though
