I bet they're pricey for a root celler.  Pretty cool though.

all I can find for prices is this

Aid agency chiefs have been impressed by the simplicity and economy of the idea. A bag weighing 230 kilograms (approximately 500 pounds) inflates into a shelter with 16 square meters (172 square feet) of floor space. Cost is estimated at £1,100 ($2,100), while an equivalent-size Portakabin (a type of portable building widely used in the United Kingdom) costs about £4,000 ($7,700). The same-size tent costs about £600 ($1,150).

but it's from a old article

looks like $23,000 to $30,000, which is steep.

There probably is.  Not sure how structurally sound it would be though.  Hell, didn't they do something like that on Doomsday Preppers once?  Where they sprayed the dome with concrete?
