I would think that there could be a little more to it than that.
Where are you and what are the circumstances?

Home Depot is doing it for $0.99 a square foot. They don't advertise the R value for that price however, and that's for fiberglass. So really it's just a low number to get in the door and high pressure the customer.

Cost per square foot.
framer6262, price depends on whether you want the good stuff or not.
Another question to consider is: How much does a bad job cost me for the next umpteen years?

Yes, but you also live in a high cost area. I am able to commute easily in my small town and the surrounding community.
My insulation is also fiberglass.
