Was just at a local box store that had 12/2 with ground electrical wiring at about 60 cents per foot. The guy there said it went up in price about 2 months ago. What did the price used to be?

Large-Capacity Lightweight Miter Saw
This very capable miter saw weighs less than 30 lbs. and can cut a 2x12 @ 90 deg. and a 2x8 @ 45 deg. Precise cutting and smooth-adjusting controls make it a pleasure to use.
Angel Guard Deck Demon
Demo has never been easier with the deck demon. The tool keeps the worker in an upright position and uses leverage to remove decking from framing, a must have tool for demo.

IIRC, I bought 12/2/G UF for about 24 cents/ft. before the big run-up.

Last week I bought several 250' rolls of 12/2 romex for $79 each at the ugly orange box. That's .31 per foot. Bought one 250' roll of 12/3 for $132, or .52 per foot.
when I built mine it was .12 to .15

Can't comment directly on #12. Delaware - February '06, 250' of 14-2 Romex = $ 29.95. Same store - August '06, same 250', 14-2 = $59.99. My guess is that the price increase on #12 would be roughly the same on a % basis; I'd call that 'bout double.

Never underestimate the value of a sharp pencil or good light.
1k' rolls of 12-2 jumped up to $415 in May. It has been creeping down a bit since then. I think it is just over $300 now. IIRC in Feb it was about $180.

Best garage sale buy of the summer was paying the guy his $5 asking price for 200 ft left on the roll of 10-3wg.
Paid $7 for 150 ft of 14-2 wg at a different place, still happy.
Boeing surplus store raised its price on surplus copper wire from $1.25 to $3.00 in August. There still is not any available anytime I've gone by. Got 300 ft of 3/0 Cu last year for the $1.25#
