As you might be able to tell, I really love all things journaling. I love pens
, washi tape
, glue sticks
, glitter glue
, markers
, brush pens
, notebooks
of every kind, paint
....you get the idea. I am also very cheap; not to mention, if I bought every journaling supply I wanted, I would be broke. I don't know why these supplies are so expensive but they are! It's annoying, but I've found some workarounds.
The Wish App or Wish.com has been the best find I've found so far. Now, granted you have to be patient. The stuff I've received has shipped direct from China which means it takes 6 plus weeks to get to you. That being said, Frixon erasable pens
are $1 a piece!
Black Fine Line pens (6) for $5!!!
These I've all purchased myself and DO NOT get a commission if you purchase. They all work fantastically. Although the white writing on the outside of the black pens is starting to rub off within 2 months, but who cares? The pen still works!!
Dollar Tree has great stuff and EVERYTHING is a buck! They have washi tape, pens, glue sticks, markers, colored pencils, crayons, every type of school supply you could want. The washi is cute too! Just look at the picture below!
They even have PRINTABLES! I didn't know that Dollar Tree had a loyalty program, but they do which is where I found the printables and TONS of other ideas for stuff!
They even have recipes! Think I'll make these egg cups tonight!
Clearly, I love the Dollar Store! 💗💗💗❣
Of course, I have to mention Dollar General if I'm going to mention Dollar Tree. The selection can be a bit limited, but for basics it's awesome!
$5 for a portable art set - sign me up!
Last, but not least, there's Amazon which of course has everything! However, it isn't always the cheapest. That being said, the huge value add is you don't have to leave the house and go to the store and search through a bunch of crap you don't need or want. You type in the search bar and voila - there it is! Here are a couple of my recent favorite finds for under $5:
So, there are my top picks for cheap journaling/bujo supplies!
