Insulation Alternatives: Non-Fiberglass Batts
As an alternative to fiberglass batt insulation, consider using cotton batts, sheep's wool, mineral wool, rock wool, & slag wool. Their durability and acoustical absorbtion exceed most fiberglass batts.
Quotes costs of $1.20/sq ft. for cotton, wool at twice that.

Bonded Logic - Natural Cotton Fiber Insulation
"Blue jean" insulation. Low R value (insulating quality) -- 30 is the max for these, and roofs in the north want more like R49.
