Less than 50 US cents a meter.
Wire is cheap and readily (sort of 
available, so why not use the best one can obtain for a reasonable price. Try teflon wire insulation when you solder/ pre-tin these wires and then come back and tell me it ain't worth it vs that plastic (PVC) stuff. PVC is used because it is cheapo for a mfg who really does not care about wire quality. I was turned on to telfon wire when I was a green tech working at Motorla comm. I still have some of it I borrowed for projects. Eek hot PVC
I think I might have convinced Bob Cordell who was against it too, I sent him some to try out, he gave it a thumbs up

I have used the TE/Raychem hookup wire for a while now and I like it.
i.e. https://www.mouser.ca/datasheet/2/418/1/NG_CD_55A0811_AA-681650.pdf
Raychem has lots of options (Tin coated, Ag coated, etc.)
Sold by the foot (at least in Canada), and well priced.

How is the quality? Does it smell? I bought some from Amazon and the smell was so bad I had to return it.
