They are really cheap. Check w/ your local bank, but my credit union charges like $15/ year. They are worth having for important stuff. Marriage license, birth certificate's, SS info, basically anything that would be hard to get back if you were robbed or if there was a fire. They are also good if you are like me and can get disorganized and forget where you put important stuff that you don't use much. I actually had to go get a new birth certificate for my oldest boy a few months ago because it got misplaced in our last move. I think they are worth the money.
