I've gotten it at Walmart and home centers for under $3. I don't use CA a lot, just for the occasional cracked flange or on Kawai's styran componants. If I feel I'll need my cold hide glue on a particular day, I'll throw it in my bag unless it's very cold out, then I carry it in an inside pocket of my coat, in a baggie. Mike why do you carry the PVCE?
