We don't have to drive everywhere but I generally plan my trips so that the cost of driving is only a small cost. Costco is a twice a month trip for me of 8 miles roundtrip. Personally, I rarely make special trips just for one item.
I can walk up to the local supermarket and purchase many new release hardcovers for about $16.
There are plenty of places online that one can purchase new hardbacks for close to the same as a $14.99 ebook. Of course if I really want to save money I can wait for the book through the library or even buy used.
