Best Cheap Dotted Notebook Recommendation (lemm.ee)

So far I've come across a really cheap $2, 80 sheet notebook on Walmart. However, I wouldn't want to support them. I might have to buy it though, if nothing else is within this range.

I have tried a set of high quality notebooks like $15 for 2 notebooks on Amazon but I found them too be too high quality for my liking. The paper is too smooth, cover too nice, generally not beat upable without me not feeling bad about it.

This might be something to look into. Midori paper generally has a little more tooth to it so it won't be super smooth. It's also ring bound like the Walmart one. Jetpens is also a great resource for guides and videos about all kinds of stationery items.

60 sheets is a little small. Any bigger notebooks?

Midori's MD A5 (~8.25" x 5.75") notebook comes with 96 but it's closer to $16.

Yeah I wouldn't want to pay $16 for that notebook. I'm looking to buy like a good 5 or so notebooks. Might try out the cheapo walmart ones if there's nothing else. What a shame. Was looking into just printing it out on copy paper but don't know how to bind everything together nicely.
