At the very least, it costs you your time to go there.
OK, let me modify that to "Insignificant Incremental Cost".

REI is 3 miles up the road, and on the way to COSTCO,
so I can attribute maybe 1 mile, or maybe $0.40,
to overhead to pick up at the store.

But not really, I stop in there once or twice a month to browse anyway.
My time is, perhaps unfortunately, free as I am not working.
