Canning jars

The day before yesterday I put an ad on ptci asking for pint canning jars. I said I could pay a nominal fee. A man called today and said he had about 40 jars. When we got there it turned out he had more like 10 or 11 dozen jars. I gave him a bar of soap and a hand cleaner sample.
He said he didn't need the jars any more because his wife had died and he didn't can. Bless his heart.
What a blessing. I looked at the store and they were 9.99 per dozen for pint wide mouth. I didn't buy any. I am so excited about this blessing. I thanked the man profusely.
