INVENTORIES
The Company used the LIFO method to value inventories of $81.2 million and $61.1 million at December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. During fiscal years 2019 and 2018, a reduction in inventory quantities resulted in a liquidation of applicable LIFO inventory quantities carried at lower costs in prior years. This LIFO liquidation decreased cost of goods sold by $0.4 million and $4.6 million, respectively. If the FIFO method had been used, inventories would have been $11.4 million and $11.8 million higher than reported at December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively.
