It is about $35 for 25 ft of 1/2" non-metallic with a few connectors at Lowe's. At McMaster-Carr, they have different sizes, and by the foot, it is expensive. But, I don't expect to need a lot.

I like working with it. The flexible part is nice, as well as the end connectors securely mounting to something. The metal lined stuff is heavy though. You will need a metal fish tape to pull cables through long runs however.
