BILLINGS - Spiking costs nationwide cause two major grocery stores to limit the amount of rice their customers can buy. Both Costco and Sams Club have set limits.

Billings Costco General Manager says it's not that there's necessarily a shortage, it's just supply and demand. People are buying rice in larger quantities because they're concerned prices will go even higher.

At the Billings Costco, customers are limited to 5 bags per purchase. However, if you have a history with the store of buying rice in bulk you will not be limited.
