Actually I do save home improvement and repair receipts. I just looked
through them and found one from Big K, which I think is K-Mart, a store
that closed around 3 miles from me. It just says "TOILET SEAT. 5.39 +
0.44 tax for $5.83. Dated April 22, 2000. However, I am 90% sure I don't
have the box. It would be hard to prove, I suppose, not sure how I'd do
it. Bring the K Mart receipt to Costco and the broken seat with hinge?
