Top retailer Wal-Mart's Sam's Club unit said Wednesday it is limiting the amount of rice individual shoppers could buy at one time, as rice prices hit new records around the world.
Sam's Club said it had temporarily placed limits of four 20-pound (nine-kilogram) bags a person for jasmine, basmati, and other long-grain white rice types.
"We currently have plenty of rice for Sam's Club Members," the company said in a statement.
"However, like our competitors, we're just taking the precautionary step of limiting sales of the very large 20 pound bags" of imported white rice, it said.
| I put rice in everything. EVERYTHING!   I'll just go to the Global Foods store and stock up. |

hmmm, only times I eat rice are when I go for Mexican food, or Chinese food.
Last time I had plain white stickey rice.... the Thai place, came with the Pad Thai... which is the only type of Thai food I've had (on many occasions)
I did try to make fried rice with a bunch of stuff in it one time, came out good actually but too much seasoning.
That reminds me, I want to make a chicken and rice meal in the crockpot....
Actually I do have rice on hand, the little bags of instant rice you boil.... they are handy

My daughter works for Sam's Club. She also said that they are thinking about rationing flour, too. Pretty soon we'll all have our government issued ration coupons |

As long as the don't ration gasoline, Baconators and mongolian barbecues, I think I'll be OK.

I have already purchased several pallets of Riceland rice before this shortage. I will wait until the shortage has reached epic proportions and sell my rice 1/2 pound at a time on Ebay. I will be filthy rich....HAHAHahahah.

The only time I eat rice is w/sushi. Any cost increase in the rice gets hidden real quick...
