So why do you think Sam Club still let's you buy bulk rice in Mexico and Idaho? - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

Skyrocketing rice prices has Sam's Club limiting sales

Retail chain Sam's Club will limit the sale of large quantities of rice amid a dramatic increase in the global price of rice. The store will limit customers to four 20-lb. bags of jasmine, basmati and long-grain white rice, the company said in a statement...The restriction does not apply in Idaho and New Mexico.

So why is that? Because all we eat in New Mexico is tortillas and Idahoans just eat potatoes?

Come on; you know us New Mexicans - we gotta have rice with EVERYTHING....

Rice > Noodles > Potatoes

and Potatoes>Corn

I think too that there are less people eating a lot of rice in these areas, hence no reason to limit it.

I also like rice the most, but I'm totally fine with potatoes, so I luckily dont have to care about rice prices.
