It’s $545 for 36 cans on Amazon.

I need to insulate and seal my basement ceiling and rim joist bays.

You'll probably want the batts in first before the poly to get the vapour barrier on the warm side, but yeah spray foam isn't cheap so it's best used for spots you can't insulate conventionally.

There's the added benefit of making future work easier if you don't need to chip out a bunch of foam to run a new wire for example.

    Hmmm, I see the logic of warm side cold side and condensation. I just can't get my head around the idea of creating a type of vapor barrier and potentially sealing moisture between the joists and outside plate like that.

    Not saying you're wrong, just thinking out loud. Thank you for your input!
