Hot take: the $28 dot grid notebook I bought at a shop in Portland was the best money I've spent on bujo stuff
I usually grab the $8 notebooks but grabbed a $28 one with 160gsm paper from a little shop in Portland on a trip, and the thick paper means my fountain pen doesn't bleed through at all. Two pages in and I'm already redoing my whole monthly spread because the pages feel so nice to write on. Is it weird that paper weight is now something I actually care about?
