I don't think I've ever seen a 20lb bag of flour in a grocery store. That's a really big bag. That's about 4 gallons by volume.

My wife bought a 50lb bag today: our local bakery buys that size for their own purposes. It's a good sized sack.

I do not think there are many people out buying 20lb bags of flour.

We bought 40lb of flour and 20lb of sugar in early March; it was one of our last “preps” going into all this. We don’t normally go through either in any quantity - my wife and are both usually on keto. We’ve used all the flour (and have bought more), and most of the sugar.

We got both at our local Walmart.
