  Costco and Sam’s Club have limited rice purchases to four 50 pound bags of rice at a time.
  With these new restrictions you can only buy 200 pounds at a time.
  
  Sam’s and Costco are private wholesale clubs that are not open to the general public.

  But Costco doesn't sell Jasmine rice. (There's a 2 bag limit at my Costco.)

  That's it. After three unsuccessful days of trying to score a bag of rice, first thing tomorrow morning I'm going to be among the first at our base commissary when it opens at 730am. *looks at late hour, shuts down, off to bed, ready for battle*
