I think the 3M kits run about $25 / window. If you have 20 or 30
windows on your house, this really adds up, and then there's the time
factor.

I've seen the outdoor variety (62"x126") for under $10 on sale at local
hardware stores.

But you're quite right about how that adds up if you have a lot of
windows, plus the time and effort to get the stuff up and then take it
down.

I'm also not a huge fan of putting that double sided tape on my
wood trim.

We use the outdoor variety to avoid that.

Even though we have double-glazed, argon-filled windows with "low e"
glass throughout, my wife insists that we also put up the plastic every
fall.

So, we do.

Sorry about the oops on the price. I saw them today at my local
Menards for $11 for a kit that would do up to 5 windows...
