OK - I Am a Filo-Freak, But I'm Also Organizer Crazy

I was doing some shopping at Walgreens.  I usually go there once a week to see what I can get really cheap.  I match sales with coupons, sometimes I can get things for free.  Anyway, I was picking up some 2 packs of erasers for .29 cents, when my eyes fell upon this Franklin Covey Organizer for $16.99.    It was an A5 size, so I was thinking that I could use the papers inside for my Filofax.  I love when each month has a month at a glance and then a breakdown of the weeks, WOTP.  None of these papers are dated, so I can start and use them anytime.  When I bought it I also had two $4 off coupons, so I got it for under $10.  I really feel like I scored.  Now, as I'm looking at the cover, it's beginning to grow on me.  It's not leather, but it feels very supple.  Here it is pictured:















I'm not crossing over, I'm just taking advantage of a bargain that might suit my needs.

    I, too, shop occasionally at Walgreens--and last year I did the same as you have. But in my case I used the smaller Compact FC size.
    Unfortunately, after I bought it, I realized that the inserts for that size stuck out of some of the Filofax binders. So, as great as the deal was, I couldn't get into using it, and it sits all alone, and unloved.........

      Oh boy, that's not good at all. Maybe you could use it as a gift to someone. I did notice that the Filofax paper stick out the sides of this one too. Oh well. I'll have to use it as is I guess. It's not dated so maybe I'll hang on to it for a while and see what comes up.

    Good deal...I've never seen a FC with only 3 rings before. Usually the classic size (similar to A5) have 7 rings. Do these 3 holes line up with the Filofax A5?

      Of course not, that would be too easy, right? The outside holes had to be moved over barely another hole's width to fit Filofax paper in the FC binder. All new holes to put FC paper in the FF.

    I bought a Day Timer one for 7.99 just to use the inserts it came with lol. To buy inserts separately is very expensive.
