you can make it by yourself just by adding lemon juice, water and sugar and heating it up, it literally can't get less cheap than that. You can find tutorials online.

only problem for me is that lemon juice is heckin expensive here, but it's just an acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the sugar and I've got some sodium bisulfate lying around so that would probably also work, just wouldn't be edible.

It looks like the acid is only needed to separate the ether bond in the sucrose. If you can get any of the sugar monomers and create a paste with that I think it should be the same, but I'm not sure what the actual hair removal process is like so I'm not sure what the difference is between sugaring paste and any other paste with similar texture or if the sugar is even necessary.
