The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The wide ruling with 11/32 inch spacing works better if you have larger handwriting or need more room between lines for readability.
- Each pad has a chipboard backing that gives it structure while writing, plus a title space and left margin to help organize your notes.
- You're getting 12 pads at once, so this is really a bulk buy for people who go through notepads regularly rather than a single pad purchase.
As of Aug 30, the Amazon Basics Wide Ruled Lined Writing Pads is a good price at $16.19 — versus a $13.53 typical price and a $6.94 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 “23% off,” measured against a $21 “list price” it doesn't charge. Its usual price is $14 — real discount ≈ 0%.
The phantom Amazon has left this $21 “list price” untouched for 14 months — while the item actually sold for about $14. It's a fixed anchor, not a price it charges.
