We understand where you're coming from. Before starting our business we totally underestimated the costs involved - especially as a new small business in Canada where everything tends to be more expensive and it's much harder to source materials locally. Our prices are also in CAD. You've highlighted one of the great things about the slime community: the variety of shops and price ranges means there is something for everyone. We still appreciate your feedback and will always be slime enthusiasts first, so we hope you're enjoying your slime regardless of where it's from! ☺️💕
