I always stock up at the back to school sale when these drop to a quarter or less in some cases. I have several on my desk and they are color coded by cover for each one's job. I use one to write down all phone messages and make notes when someone calls me so I don't end up with little pieces of paper I can't find or try to type while talking with someone. I have another for recording checks I write on line payments and CC payments etc for business and personal accounts because I can't always open up Quicken right at that time and enter the data. This allows me to update my books easily later. I also use them for noting equipment purchases prices warranties and staple the receipts to the pages. I know you can do a lot of this on the computer but it's so easy to just open the book and find my stuff rather than scan everything in. I love these notebooks!
You can't beat $0.17 for a notebook. With budgets stretched it is nice to know the kids notebooks will not hurt in the wallet. Being able to buy six at a time for that price meant just a couple of visits (which is not hard to do) and all the kids had there subject notebooks for the entire year. I made a point to buy six every time I went into the store. The variety of colors makes these notebooks good for both boys and girls. It also means they can assign different colors for different subjects. They also have folders in the same colors to match. Great buy.
I purchased this notebook before taking a flight to assist my brother with some health issues he was having while hospitalized. He was going to be moved into a rehab facility using long term care facilities. With having to meet with doctors nurses social workers and make many phone calls on his behalf this notebook was handy for me. I am not organized so I was able to make all my notes and phone numbers that I needed. During my stay of ten days this notebook kept me aware of appointment and important information that I was constantly able to refer to. And best thing yet I did not lose anything.
These notebooks were bought for a back to school drive sponsored by my church. Children whose parents were unable to afford to purchase back to school items this year were the beneficiaries.
I am using these notebooks for a 9-month-long Bible Study class. I first considered purchasing regular journal-type notebooks but rejected this because the pages on that type of journal are stitched in which wouldn't allow me to remove pages as I deemed necessary. I will probably need at least one or two more Staples notebooks before this Bible study is through. I record classwork study questions personal thoughts and prayer concerns that are raised but those participating in this study on a weekly basis. Staples offers great products at good price-points.
