The above value of inventories, before reduction for the LIFO reserve, approximates replacement cost at the respective dates. Of the $144.7 million inventory at August 29, 2015, $135.3 million is valued on a LIFO basis and the Towables inventory of $8.4 million is valued on a FIFO basis. Of the $144.1 million inventory at August 30, 2014, $137.7 million is valued on a LIFO basis and the Towables inventory of $6.4 million is valued on a FIFO basis.
  
During Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014 we recorded an increase to LIFO reserves of $1.2 million and $1.5 million based on increases in inflation.
