Organize Your Finances with the Boxclever Press Budget Book Planner

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: I purchased my "BudgetBook" in 2019, for $10.29 plus tax, and it is still in very good condition. I'm old school when it comes to writing in ledger books,
I "always use a pencil" when I write in my book, that way I can erase any mistakes, or update anything, plus I can keep using the book year after year indefinitely. However, in recent years I came across, and started using the lined Post-it notes, thus preserving my book even better.
A coworker-friend, who is also in college, like me, and on a tight budget, saw how practical this book was, so I wanted to surprise her and get one for her, but to my disappointment
"it was listed for $50.!!"
Why??!! ... that's a $10 increase per year!!
Nice book and all, but for that price you can get a free app in (PlayStore) to do the work in your computer, and phone or better yet, save the money and pay someone to do the budget for you!

Danielle Smith: I bought this 2 years ago I love it, I’ve been erasing and reusing since I never did find the refill packs the seller had told me I could get. I was looking at buying another as mine is well worn. However I bought it for $35, and that was a bit more than I felt like paying then but it was worth it. This price increase is quite ridiculous. It’s a small note book, with a pretty outside and it’s the same as it was 2 years ago.

Sammie Jo: This book has to be one of the best things I have bought this year. It has really helped me to keep track of my spending and I would advise anyone who wants to keep track of their spending to get one. It is amazingly light, I would not have thought so, so you can carry it with you every day in your bag. It has different sections so that you can record your daily and monthly spends including essential spending and savings, I am really skimming the surface here. I have found that the different sections enables you to see exactly where your money is going and there is enough spaces for recording your day to day spending. There are pockets for each month to put receipts in which I find very handy especially when I don't have the time to write it in the book. It also prevents receipts being left around and keeps them safe. None of the pages are dated so you can start tracking your finances at anytime in the year or easily complete the previous months spending. At the back there is a section for Christmas and extra expenses which I know will come in very handy soon and there is a receipt pocket for that as well. It comes with a string divider and the book keeps shut with magnets....

LN -mpls: I’ve read a lot of low rated reviews for this product because it is small. I don’t think that is fair, the size is listed in the description. If you want the larger size by Boxclever, order that instead! Last year I used the larger version, but this smaller size is better suited to me. There is still plenty of room for day to day spending, and the pockets are great for receipts, it doesn’t say bills will fit in the pockets. For me, this smaller size is more convenient and less bulky, but I have a simple budget. Quality is great, nothing wrong with mine. Would be nice to have instruction guide.

Marie Barker: So the book is a lot smaller than I expected, it's around hand size.
It does have an easy to use layout to track your expenses but I think I might need a bigger version for my line of work.

When you start to put receipts in it expands a lot so you might have trouble shutting it depending on how much you need to put in it for my I've had to put a rubber band around it so I dont loose it all.

RobynFree: Generally I like it and it will serve my needs to keep my financial 'stuff' separate as currently log stuff in diary. Minor irritation - not enough space to log daily spending each month though there is a nice little wallet to store receipts too.Also at end there is a section for Christmas spending. NB NOT EVERYONE IS A CHRISTIAN NOR CELEBRATES CHRISTMAS. A bit small generally and would have preferred a larger A4-A5 format for plenty of space even if it costs more. Good try.

Ash: I like my big notebooks of folders, so I can hold on to all my bills in it as I write them out, this is very tiny too hold a lot of things, the budgeting aspect of it is great if you need a little help doing it on your own.

Katherine Steen: I bought this as a christmas gift for my mom since she always needs to record bills, but always does so on scrap paper and what not. This cute little book has pages for each month, and a little folder to store the receipts at the end of each month. The book closes with a little magnet inside, so it stays secure if you need to carry it around. Also has a book holder to keep your place. Only drawbacks are that there are quite a few different styles to the pages for each month, instead of just 1 type across the whole month, but that makes sense since it is to budget! It's also quite small, but I saw that from a lot of other reviews too. It's a cute size tho and easy to store!

Susan: I just got this yesterday and its great, its brilliantly laid out to track your direct debits, savings and regular monthly payments. It was a day to day section so you can note all your daily expenses for the month then it looks at what you earned, what you spent, what you saved and what you are carrying forward to next month, it encouraged me to save something this month even just a little to be able to fill it all in and in my books thats a good thing. Also there is a bit for all your receipts so that you can save theses well, the bit at the end has a budget tracker if you are saving for something or paying something off and want to keep track of this, there is also a separate Christmas section that that helps you to build a budget and then helps you track what you actually spent. Its a neat little book, very attractive and handbag size friendly would highly recommend if you like to keep a detailed track of your money.

Cynthia Howard: This is a very nice little book. I say little because it is; it's a bit larger than your average paperback. I like the way the book is organized with different sections for income, regular expenses, day-to-day expenditures, savings, etc and I especially like the little pocket dedicated to each month for storing receipts and bills. There is one drawback that I have found and that is directly related to the size. Because the book is so small, a person using this as a family budget book will quickly find it bursting at the seams. I have used it since August for my personal budget and found that after only a single month I needed to make some decisions about which documents would be kept in the book and which would be filed elsewhere. Perhaps a larger sized option would be useful for families and those who want to use the budget book as a file system as well. However, as it is, it works very well for me and I am happy with the purchase. I plan on buying a new one for 2018.
