UK - grid notepads - economy and FP friendly

[hollyuk]

I popped into our local Lidl supermarket this week to stock up on their yummy parma ham, smoked salmon and greek yoghurt (all at budget prices I might add!). Whilst there I spotted a grid notepad which seemed very smooth paper for only 99p. I've got it home and tried it with my MB 149 Bread nib and it is really good. There may be a very, very tiny bit of feathering not visible unless you look very closely. My pen is rather wet so I am guessing with a medium or fine nib this would not happen. Very little show through either.

 

The pads are spiral bound, punched and the pages can be removed as they are perforated - 100 sheets per pad. All in all an excellent buy if you want a desk top notepad for notes and general scribble, or if you are studying and need some fairly cheap notepads.

I know the ones you mean - see this post

 

They're great aren't they? What I like best, apart from the good value, is that at the very top of each page, the perforation has a little nick to make it easy to start the tear.

 

I really don't like grid paper though, and I thing I'm in the majority - at my Lidl, the lined ones sell out first, and there's a big stack of graph paper type left!

A bread nib lays down a margerinely thicker line.

And they're buttery smooth too!

 

Thanks for the tip on the pads Holly.

As you figured - I meant broad nib! Bit of a typo I'm afraid!

 

I quite like the grid pads as you can use the lines to layout your page.
