This has been all over the news today...and after a trip to Sams Club w/Mom today you ARE limited to 4 bags!!!

We bought 4 25lb bags!!!

If you use rice better get it while its there...we were NOT the only ones loaded with the 4 bags!

My local Costco does not have the Basmati rice I normally get. I called the other Costco in the next town and they have 9 left. I'm going there after work to get it. I hope it's not sold out.

I don't think we would need 100 lbs of rice, that would take a long time for us to go through.

It took me about a month to use 2lbs of rice. I don't know what I'd do with that much.

We like potatoes so I'm not worried about rice... LOL

From what I have heard, we are not going to run out of rice. Small businesses and restaurants have been stocking up. My guess is they want to buy it before the price goes up, and that is what is leading to the rationing. No grocery stores, including Superwalmart are limiting rice quantities.

We don't use rice all that often, we go through potatoes faster.
