Anyone Know Anything About Moleskin Notebooks?

June 7th, 2010 at 01:54 am

Hello, everyone. For several months now, I have been carrying around a small Mead spiral notebook with me in my purse to help me keep a better handle on my budget. I keep a running balance of budget categories (in pencil) so that I know what I need to leave room for. My problem is that it is not big enough. I need something small enough that it will fit easily into my Ameribag purse (medium size, I think), but large enough to contain information about my budget which is 25 lines on an Excel sheet. Would a Moleskin notebook, maybe the one with gridlines that is about 3x5, do the trick? Wait a minute. Hold the phone. I just measured the spiral notebook I already have and it is almost 3x5, so I am going to have to get something bigger. I will check at a store tomorrow, but can't spend the money until Friday or Saturday. I ask because I have only seen them on the internet, but I think I could probably pick up one at the campus bookstore or Hastings.

My other choices include a small Mead Five Star notebook in either 3x5 or 5x7 sizes or just a plain lined journal like I have seen at Walgreens, etc.

Anyone have any ideas?

    I have a moleskin. I've used it to keep track of my financial ideas/ plans, etc. I've had the same one since 2003, and I love it. it's a great product.

    I have used several moleskins over the years. I get them at high end bookstores and at the university bookstore. Moleskines come in a number of configurations, are sturdy and have a band for tight closing. I especially like the ones with pockets on the inside covers.

    I like them but they are considerably pricier than the Mead notebook, which means you really want to get the right one that resolves all your issues - so you have to pin down exactly what issues you have.
    Oh yes, they have a website so take a look at what you can get. http://www.moleskineus.com/
