Inventories Disclosure [Abstract] |
Inventories | Note 3 Inventories Merchandise inventories, as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, were valued as follows:
(dollars in thousands) |  | 2013 |  | 2012
LIFO | $ | 187,178 | $ | 187,847
Average cost |  | 53,274 |  | 57,396
| $ | 240,452 | $ | 245,243
Management believes the use of the LIFO method for valuing certain inventories represents the most appropriate matching of costs and revenues in the Company’s circumstances. If all inventories were valued on the average cost method, which approximates current cost, total inventories would have been $79,022,000 and $78,330,000 higher than as reported on the above methods as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. During 2013, the Company had certain decrements in its LIFO pools, which had an insignificant impact on the cost of sales.
