I paid $4 for wood, plus the glue and saw total for 1 soap that holds 6lbs of soap $9 plus a beer for the kids who made it for me, I would sure love the drying rack though.
Don't forget, this is Canada - land of the "double the American price and add the HST"!
But, yeah, I thought it was a little pricey - more than I plan to spend. I was just rather intrigued that these items were available, being as I am of the Little Red Hen persuasion aka "I'll make it myself".
