12. Inventory

As of March 4, 2023 and February 26, 2022, inventories were $539,932 and $487,173, respectively, lower than the amounts that would have been reported using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) cost flow assumption. The Company calculates its FIFO inventory valuation using the retail method for store inventories and the cost method for distribution facility inventories. The Company recorded a LIFO charge of $53,028 and $1,314, for fiscal year 2023 and 2022, respectively, and a LIFO credit of $51,692 for fiscal year 2021. During fiscal 2023, 2022 and 2021, a reduction in non-pharmacy inventories resulted in the liquidation of applicable LIFO inventory quantities carried at lower costs in prior years. This LIFO liquidation resulted in a $31,857, $13,090 and $26,861 cost of revenues decrease, with a corresponding reduction to the adjustment to LIFO for fiscal 2023, fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, respectively.
