GOOD PRICE.
This is a set of six small notepads, each with 50 sheets of narrow-ruled paper in pastel colors (pink, orchid, and blue, with two pads of each color). They're sized at 5 by 8 inches, making them compact enough for a desk, backpack, or pocket, and work well for jotting down quick notes at home, school, or in an office.

The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The narrow ruling (9/32-inch spacing) lets you fit more writing on each page, which is useful if you have small handwriting or want to pack more information into a small pad.
- Pages are perforated at the top so you can tear them out cleanly without ripping the pad itself.
- Each pad has a chipboard backing to give it structure while you're writing, so it doesn't feel flimsy.
As of Aug 30, the Amazon Basics Narrow Ruled Writing Pads is a good price at $8.93 — versus a $8.60 typical price and a $4.19 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
Its price this year
A fair price — but not a real “sale.”
Sale check Amazon shows “36% off,” measured against a $14 “list price” it doesn't charge. Its usual price is $9 — real discount ≈ 0%.
The phantom Amazon has left this $14 “list price” untouched for 25 months — while the item actually sold for about $9. It's a fixed anchor, not a price it charges.
