Hello fellow Canadians!
What did you pay for your 4x8 sheet of coroplast and your grids? Just wondering what the prices of c&c supplies are these days. If you think yours are super cheap, please tell us where you bought it!

My coroplast was almost $25 from Home Depot. My grids were $.50 each from a garage sale.

Well, I don't live in Canada, but my whole C&C cage will only cost me about $20. I am buying the Coroplast from GE Polymershapes, which will only be $10. Here's their locations in Canada: (broken link removed)
I bought 23 grids from a lady on Craigslist for $5. You should try there for cheap cubes.
My fleece will cost about $15.
All in all, it'll be about $35 for the whole thing. I think it should be similar in Canada, if you look in the right places. GE Polymershapes and Craigslist will help you get cheap stuff.
Good luck!

I can get 4'x8' Coroplast for $10 (GE Polymershapes). 16 Grids (4 cubes) 14.99-20% at Bed Bath and Beyond, or $16 for a 6 cube set at Kmart IF the 9-squares across type are in stock. I could not find grids on Craigslist any cheaper :(

I made my C&C Alternative cage for free! With acrylic and coroplast from the warehouse at the shop here.

I paid $15 per box of grid panels from bed bath and beyond and coroplast sheets from a local sign shop for $20 for a 4' x 8' sheet.

My cage started for less than $5. Got the cubes on Freecycle and used a plastic shower curtain liner. Bought fleece throws for $2.50 each. Towels were discards from friends and my own. Since then I have bought more fleece, cubes for fences and coroplast to make the cage a bit spiffier (in my own opinion). That cost me $25 for coroplast and the Bed, Bath cubes at two boxes at $14.99/box minus $5 coupons. The manager let me use two coupons, one for each box.

I paid about $18 for each of two boxes of grids from WalMart and I think around $15 for a sheet of coroplast from Rona. I got towels cheaply from Value Village, and then fleece came to around $20. Since the initial setup, I have added more towels and fleece and hidey houses gradually.

I got my fleece from work (Humane society, donated items) and used my own old towels. The grids were 21 dollars at walmart and I got two packs. The Coro was 18 dollars per sheet from a small home improvement store, which is only local. I checked rona and a 4x8 sheet was WAY more expensive than your price.
