I don't know how much this stuff usually costs, but I just got an order  
form through the Genetics Society of America for a reduced rate bulk  
purchase of x-gal for $19/gram (US).  You have to be a member of GSA to  
qualify ($70), and you have to order in 10g lots.  Call the GSA  
adminstrative office for details (301) 571-1825 (they're in Bethesda,  
Maryland USA for those of you in Hong Kong :-).
