    While these high-quality paper notebooks are about as basic as they come, sometimes that’s’ exactly what you need. These notebooks come 6 in pack, meaning they are extremely economical.

    In addition, their low price point means that they are usable and disposable, and get the job done without the added worry of losing or damaging them. The notebooks come with a ring spiral spine, and the pages are 3-hole punched which means that they can be used inside of a binder.

    In addition, they come in a variety of bright colors, so they are easily distinguishable from one another. Customers say that the price for the quantity and quality level is great and that they are very durable.

    2. Field Notes Memo Book (3-pack)

    Field notes have grown massively in popularity due to their high-quality construction, attractive design, and simplicity of use. These are great notebooks to throw in a backpack and use for assignment lists or memos.

    They are great to slip in your back pocket as well. Most customers are extremely satisfied with the simplicity of the notebooks and their versatility as a notebook for quick note-taking.

    However, some customers say that the pages can’t handle heavier ink (the pages are pretty thin.) Overall, these are a great and stylish option for people who need a simple solution that can be easily stowed.

    Field Notes books are often featured in small boutique stores because of their stylish and attractive designs, so if aesthetics are a high priority on your list, theses can be a great option.

    The Clever Fox dotted notebook is a great overall versatile notebook. It utilizes a dot-grid format, which means that you are free to play with margins and spacing as you like without the restriction of lines. It also allows for drawing and scribbling. The notebook opens completely flat and comes with ribbons and stickers for labels.

    It’s also lightweight — it weighs only about a half a pound. Customers say that they love this journal, but the dots are a bit closer together than with other durable paper notebooks like the Bullet Journal.

    While this journal allows for freedom of space and journaling, it also doesn’t come with as many features as some of the journals on this list. However, it does come with plenty of organizational tools that help you to keep all of your information where it belongs.
