The $27 dotted notebook that changed my whole spread setup

I grabbed a no-name dotted notebook from a local art store in Portland for $27 last month, and honestly it beats the big brand ones I was using. The paper is thicker so my highlighters don't bleed through, and the grid is actually printed straight (which I never checked before). Has anyone else had luck with cheaper notebooks or do you stick with the usual suspects?

Cheap notebooks are hit or miss but when they hit it's so good. My $8 one from a grocery store beats my $30 brand name one for pen testing. Turned out the paper was made in Vietnam and just happened to be great stock. Now I flip through every notebook in the store before buying. Grid straightness is a deal breaker for me too. Nothing worse than crooked dots messing up a whole spread.
