I usually purchase Staples brand notebooks for my highschool and college kids as I find that they are a good value and quality for the price. They tend to like the plastic pockets in them better than the name brand notebooks. Also the paper quality and color of the lines seems more consistent. I find that I have realized between a 30 - 40% savings when buying Staples brand over the name brand. For 3 daughters and over 10 years of high school and college that adds up. If the quality wasn't there I would be willing to pay more for something better.
I love the notebook with plastic pockets and college ruled pages. It makes it nice to take notes in. Choice of colors was nice also. I also like the two and three subject notebooks. It makes it nice to keep several different class subjects all in the same place. I would definitely buy the notebooks again. I even bought smaller ones for taking notes in at church.
Staples notebooks are a bargain: durable well-made at the right price these notebooks serve well for all ages. My daughters have used these in school for years; my older daughter now requests these for her college courses. As a teacher for nearly 3 decades I ask that my students purchase spiral notebooks and these Staples products work exceptionally well as they have plenty of pages for a semester they are lined properly the pages pull out cleanly when sheets must be handed in -- all good!
These notebooks are great for the price. I prefer the vinyl pockets over the paper ones found in Mead notebooks. I also like that they are a full sheet size of 8-1/2 x 11. I try to stock up when they are on sale during back to school time. I recommend these notebooks as a sturdy notebook for your student or work. Keep providing these great notebooks for a reasonable price Staples. I will continue to buy them for both my home and office especially when they go on sale at back to school time.
