Unfortunately, that's the case around here most of the times. Freecycle and CraigsList have more needs for free/cheap ones than I've ever seen postings for them for sale. When they are, usually they are more expensive than news ones at WalMart.

We happened across this one by a wrong turn in a town even smaller than the one where I live And there, under a table in the garage were these three wonderful crates filled with some "collectable" ones I can't use (wire bale type) for canning, but some nice 1/2 gallon ones (for pantry storage), a few nice vintage ones, and prolly 2 dozen realtively modern wide mouth quarts or pints. And since we were already paying for the gas for the drive.... it felt kinda like Christmas
