Default Rim / band joist insulation

Hi Guys,
Just wanted to know if any of you have had this done. Right now, i have fiberglass insulation wedged in between the rim joists. These are really not that tight fitting and i can see some cobwebs around them (spiders make nests only where there is air flow). I had a guy come over and he wants to spray foam the rim joists for about $1000.

I know that is the best way but I dont think that i will be able to recoup that much in heat savings (do not have cooling).

I saw a video on you tube where a guy just does the same thing using a spray can (he does not fill the whole thing). I was thinking of doing the same.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ravi
