I just received a text from my neighbor that we seem to be experiencing a flour shortage in our area (Northern CA). She said that Costco is out and the manager said he didn’t know “if or when” they will get more. I’m trying to figure out if this is a broader issue. She said she knows of at least one other store that does have some in stock right now and to grab it quick if we need some.
Anyone else experiencing this?
I got a few bags at Aldi and vacuum sealed them in 6 cup portions, vacuumed sugar and rice, too.
Does that last any much longer than just storing in the freezer? Asking because that is where I store my extra baking essentials.
I would assume so. I missed a bag when sealing them and out it's in there.

Great idea to vacuum seal! I need to pick up more bags to do that!
My local Aldi was bare as fuck! Like BAD!
That sucks!! Hope you are able to get what you need!
I did. It was just an observation. It was actual panic level bare. Thankfully I'm prepped pretty good already.
