As things continue to get worse word comes that even Sam’s Club (owned by Wal-Mart) is beginning to limit the amount of rice that customers can purchased… better known as rationing its product. The two biggest U.S. warehouse retail chains are limiting how much rice customers can buy because of what Sam’s Club, a division of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., called on Wednesday “recent supply and demand trends.” The broader chain of Wal-Mart stores has no plans to limit food purchases, however.

Nows The Time to Scoop it Up! With the U.S housing market in a crunch, now is the best time to scoop up properties for a great deal. The only trick is that you need to be in the position to capitalize on it. If you are in debt or don’t have knowledge about real estate, then you can’t get in on the action. Foreclosures, Repossessions, even 1031 exchange deals can get you great properties with little impact to your financial situation — you just need to know how and be financially solvent. But
