I recently went to the Christmas Tree Shoppe and stocked up on Fido jars. This place by far has the best prices on Fido jars.
1/2 liters were $2.49 and 1 liters were 2/$5. 2 liters were $3.99, and 5 liters were just $5.99!
I figured I couldn’t pass up on this steal, so I…overbought. Lifetime supply, anyone?
My trip inspired the following…
Note: I didn’t have enough 1-liters available for the photo, so I added in some 1/2-liters. Ignore that 
So….which would you rather have?
p.s. feel free to join us on Fido Fermentation.

Holy cow, lady! Where are you going to store those?!?
I have many of the 5L’s in my pantry. The rest is under my big “activity table” where the kids do their crafts. I’ll pull them out as I need them.
I do think that Pickl-it is going to have to rethink its pricing strategy pretty soon since most of the people who do their own fermenting are frugal by nature. I know I have a real tough time justifying the 10x higher expense for a hole in a lid with a rubber stopper, and a $1.50 airlock.
A friend of mine made her own very frugally. She is writing up a post on it and I will share it when she is finished.
You are totally right on the prices - a Fido + $1 and change and you can have your own. I’ve seen airlocks as low as 79 cents online, and grommets for 32 cents.
The biggest expense is the $10 diamond drill bit.
However, I’ve learned you really don’t need to go to the fuss - Fido jars work wonderful on their own.
