I think Wal-Mart has them? I know this only from reading it here some time ago, though...
Good luck! I love mason jars.
Depending on how much you spend, this site offers free shipping

Walmart - Solenbergers (I think that's a local chain), Bloom, a lot of grocery stores carry them around here. Try the grocery store - Kmart/ Walmart/ Farm and Family type stores.
Think - if I had a garden - where would I shop? I know they're pretty easy to find in VA. I have 30 I need to unload but it looks like you are in CA so that's a bit of a reach...
Good luck
Hardware stores. Ace hardware has been reliable for me. Stores that specialize in "dry goods" are also good ones to try (general stores, for example).
Also, craigslist and freecycle. You can search locally and go pick them up!
WalMart has tonnnnnns. Also, your regular supermarket (Safeway, Meyers, whatevs) probably has them somewhere too, but you'll find more variety at WalMart.
HOWEVER, if you want the antique, blue-glass variety, you'll have to shell out at antique stores and flea markets. Those usually cost a couple bucks a piece up to $10 a pop. :P
Does my Walmart live under a rock? The only place I have found mason jars through Walmart was online. I thought they had everything too! Maybe I just have to wait until it gets closer to canning season?? Thanks for all the suggestions so far. I will have to check Ace hardware and KMart. Maybe since I live so close to LA mason jars are not "cool" enough to have in normal stores!
Most of my local grocery store chains have them. Also, this site I found has really cheap jars: www.fairwayglass.us Depending on how close you live to their distribution centers determines the shipping.
I plan on using mason jars for centerpieces as well. I haven't really looked for them in stores yet but on the Ball Canning Company site they suggested grocery stores and other general merch. stores. I know that I have seen them at my local Vons (i'm in Ventura, CA)
Also I was thinking about doubling up using the jars for my centerpieces and as my table numbers by like hanging a tag around the mouth of the jar.
I have 10 mason jars that didnt get used from my wedding that I'm looking to get rid of if you are interested. They are the bigger jars, Id have to look and see exactly what size they are but they are the clear ones.
Yes, most grocery stores, Costco and even Home Depot carry them. Happy Shopping.
Walmart, definitely! They sell them in a 10 pack too.
Ralph's (the grocery store) has them right now 12 for $12.99!
Your local grocery chain should definitely carry them, usually in the baking/kitchen appliances area, near the glass pans and bowls =).
I've been buying up vintage milk and medicine bottles and the easiest place to get them is ebay...which also means lots of shipping!! I probably should have gone the regular ol' mason jar route. Oh well!=P
How about a craft store? Here on the East coast AC Moore and Michaels carry them. JoAnn Fabrics do too!
I've found that you have to wait until canning season is underway to start finding them in more easily accessible places. It should be soon, though! Strawberries will be coming within a few weeks in warmer climes.
My roommates and I save up jars from jams and sauces we buy in the stores and use them as drinking glasses. We have so many, that I'll take some of them for the almost-mister and I. If you're not picky about size, go grab some extra spaghetti sauce! :)
I am also using mason jars and have found them cheap at Value Village (although I am not sure if they have those where you live). But any thrift store would probably have them, plus they are all a little different which I like.
Michael's sells them too! Plus, you can always use their 40 and 50 percent off coupons which helps with the budget :) They have had tons at Michaels every time I have gone! :) Good luck!
I just saw some at the local Bi-lo for like $6 for 12 i believe...
check your local craigslist. I went searching for mason jars, and ended up finding a set of 25, prewired for hanging as candle lanterns, which is exactly what I was planning to do with them! All for $5. Not bad.
I did a lot of research in this last year because I use mason jars with my foodsaver! The cheapest place I found was Ace, where it's $10 for 12 jars (pint size) or $11 for 12 jars (quart size) or $10.50 for six 1/2 gallon size. If your local Ace doesn't stock them, you can order them online for free shipping to your local Ace store.
I think Walmart charges $18 for 12 quart size ones (at least according to their website)
I've been in the same position! Of course whenever you desperately need something- you can never find it!!
I found a ton at a bunch of second hand stores. They had a variety of sizes. I found some great wide mouth ones for about 25 cents a piece b/c they didn't have lids.
We're also using canning jars of different sizes and styles. I just started asking people that I know who can, most of them have so many extra cans that they're more than happy to unload them on me. You might want to check out your local senior center or VFW (people that don't use the internet).
i talked to a friend @ school and got about 16 then I posted an ad on freecycle and a lady gave me another 18! I still need somemore so i will probably just go buy them...free cycle worked though! haven't really seen any in my area on craigslist. There is also bravobride.com dunno if that site might have some for sale too...
I AM ALSO DOING MASON JARS, WHAT I DID WAS TAKE CLASSICO SPAGHETTI JARS AND SOAKED THEM IN WATER AND USED THEM , THEY ARE MASON JARS AND THEY LOOK AWESOME!
They are on sale this week for 99cents at AC Moore!
I know this post is way, way old but someone else may need it - and I second Barista - they carry them by the box at Wal-Mart (in Georgia, anyway).
Michaels has them :) :) and like @hismrs said they always have coupons/sales!
Dear Mason Jar Brides!!
The other day I was cooking spaghetti and lo & behold!!!! ... my CLASSICO sauce jar is a MASON jar! It is 7" tall and the mouth is 3".
Hope this helps!

I am using wide mouth quart size mason jars for my centerpieces, and need about 10 more. I can't seem to find them anywhere but online! I don't want the antique blue or green ones; just regular ole clear ones. I also need either pint or half pint wide mouth jars for candles. Does anyone have a suggestion for stores to look for them in? I do not want to have to pay for shipping because the jars are pretty heavy. I appreciate all suggestions! Thanks in advance
