Technically no. Many animals make slime out of mucopolysaccharides... humans, for example (we call it snot, or mucus if you want to be polite).

However, if you're wanting to make "slime" to play with, most recipes that I'm aware of do involve either borax or cornstarch (or both). You can make a slime-like compound (though it may not be exactly what you're looking for) out of Metamucil and water... you basically microwave it and let it cool for several cycles.

That said, neither cornstarch nor borax is particularly expensive; I'm not sure why this is such a stumbling block. (If you just don't know where to find them, you can get cornstarch at any grocery store, and probably borax as well. If you can't find the borax, look in the section where the laundry detergents are... one common brand is 20 Mule Team Borax.)
