Staples Columnar Pads

We use this paper to keep track of information that we need for are taxes. It keeps all of information in a neat column and it is easy to find when we need it. We like the lay out of the paper and with the green background it is easy to read. We would prefer to purchase only one pad but it only came in the 2 pack package. We really do not need that much paper. It would be nice if you sold a one pack package for a less expensive price. I think that we will probably just give away one of the pads rather than store it.
Been using these for years probably cause my father also used these for book keeping a learned thing and one I still use today for my book keeping. I have used computer programs but just feel so much more comfortable with these and being able to hand write. The problem I did this time is buying the 5 columns instead of the 6 column tablets I will still be able to make them work…All and All I can go back 7 years into my files and have no problem reading no fading quality is just about like new!
In a time where technology is used exclusively for bookkeeping I feel like a dinosaur keeping my records with paper and pen. I feel more protected that way in managing church records and funds. After all I am a volunteer and not a trained bookkeeper. This was not the item I was looking for. The sheets I usually use have been discontinued. I will however give this new format a try. I thought the number of columns would be enough and they are for sufficient for receipts. I am having difficulty using the format for disbursements allowing more space for where checks went and for the date and number. I was told I could design my own pages but I ran from that option.
Absolutely essential for the office BUT the binding comes apart. Previous office gal showed me a trick when starting a new book (fold over an inch on the cover before using) but shouldn't have to. Please get a better glue to hold pages together. I absolutely love the staples brand and don't want to switch.
