Costco has been alerting customers to new purchase restrictions on some products as it grapples with keeping specific grocery and household items on the shelves.
In addition to the shortages, supply has also been hampered by the chain's significant members-only savings shoppers can take advantage of right now.

The combination has forced hundreds of items onto the warehouse's product limitations list.
"We are currently out of water," read one sign in the store, according to EatThis.com. "There is not yet an ETA for our next delivery. We apologize for the inconvenience."
Other signs inform customers they can only buy five cases of water in one visit. Some suspect missed deliveries and a water bottling plant shutdown are to blame.
Prepackaged protein shakes in a case of 18 max out at four units per customer, thanks to a steep discount.
You can only walk out with five of Peet's two-pound bags of ground coffee.
Other items, like a pack of about 200 diapers, were discounted nearly $10 off each box and had a two-product limit. Costco also limited the purchase of some electronics, glasses, mattresses, and more.
The members-only savings event ends on August 29.
