In Canada: This American T1D went to Vancouver BC, and was able to buy a vial of Humalog for US$30, without a need for a prescription: ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/1X/6a285b6e28926c46579cc5a944a630a8682a947d.jpg) New plans for summer: we are spending some of our vacations in Canada 🙂 ---

If you are looking for something off the beaten path in Canada, and/or your kids enjoy doing stuff non-normal, there is a cool amethyst mine near Thunder Bay that lets you pick through a tailing pile and purchase your finds by the pound. We have a number of cool door stops and other neat items.
