Large Glass Jars - screw top

I'm looking to get a couple of large glass jars - the ones with the two part screw lids, sometimes called Mason or Ball Mason jars.

Has anyone come across a cheap source for these in the UK? I've seen some Kilner ones at £9 for three in John Lewis (1 litre) but I was hoping for 1.5 litre or even 2 litre. (The same have been mentioned on the other thread as £3 each from Wilco).

Anyone know where I can get those?

I want them to start making my own Kefir drink.

Thanks.

Do you absolutely need them to have a screw on lid? If not, Ikea has 1.8 and 2 litre jars: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/cookware/food-storage-organising/korken-jar-with-lid-clear-glass-art-90213549/

Had to look it up . . .

“Grains of the Prophet Mohammed” more popularly known as Kefir.

Wilko sell Kilner jars in a range of sizes, including a 2 litre jar for £4. Link: http://www.wilko.com/jams+preserves/kilner-clip-top-jar-2l/invt/0328695

Dunelm also sell a range of sizes at similar prices to Wilko: http://www.dunelm.com/category/brands/kilner

OK, thanks folks. I really don't like those clip top types, so I think I'll have to go with a couple of 1 litre screw tops.

I'm going to give Kefir a try - I've had stomach/bowels/joints problems for months now - Doctors can't figure out what the problem is after lots of tests/investigations. Have tried a special diet, lost weight as a result, now on high calorie drinks to help build me up. Feel like I've aged 10 years.

Kefir is my next 'clutching at straws' attempt to cure myself. Ho hum.
