My(for now) Affordable Planner

As you may your may not know my new obsession is being organized. It's a must for my life right now. A big part of staying organized and on top of things is a planner. With a planner I am Able to keep track of everything from penciling in study time,appointments, important dates, look back on information with ease and much more. There are a lot of great planners out there but I wanted a affordable option. I took it as a challenge to see how affordable I could it together a planner that was functional and at least some what cute. So I went to my local Dollar General and piced up supplies.

1. Post it notes
2.Post it tabs
3. Border stickers
 4. Stickers
5.tape trends tape 2 rolls
6.color coded dots
7.white labels
 8.gel pens
9.paperchlips

All for around $20

My hope was to make it colorful,fun and above all motivate me to use it.
The things I purchased were not enough to organize the whole planner(which was $4) so keep that in mind. However it did put me off to a great start.The cost I have seen for (ready to plan) planners is about $30-$85 on average. Doing things this way you save easily $50 bucks,if not more.
Look for part 2 of this post as I will go more into detail with how I use the above items organize my own planner.
