Find your perfect planner with any budget #planner #bulletjournal #lifeplanner #frugalplanner

I’m a very forgetful person. I’m also not naturally organized. Having a planner is essential for me. I’ve tried so many throughout the years.

Over the last couple, I’ve really gotten into planning as not just a way to stay organized and remember things but also as a creative outlet. I love to use cute planner stickers and decorate my planner. I try to share my spreads over on Instagram if you want to see.

I’ve also gotten into watching YouTube planner reviews. That’s how I decided on a Happy Planner. I also have a PurpleTrail planner that I’m going to use a bit differently, I’ll share more about that soon.

There are so many popular planner options out there it can be a bit overwhelming. They also range in price a lot and it can be hard to find the right one for your budget.

Since I’ve spent so much time researching planners I wanted to share some of the best ones I’ve found and broken the list down into different prices so you can find one that fits your budget. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to get a good planner.

Planners for All Budgets

Bullet Journal

Planners for Every Budget

Starting Price: Free

Bullet journaling is the cheapest option because all you really have to have is a pen and notebook. You can use one you already have on hand or buy a cute one very inexpensively. This is also a very popular option right now. It can be really simple or some people create amazing, fancy bullet journals. The most popular bullet journal is the Leuchtturm hardcover journal. It’s about $20.

Blue Sky

Planners for Every Budget

Starting Price: $5.99

Blue Sky makes some really cute planners that are sold at Target and very affordable. Their 5 x 8 inches hardcover planner is only $5.99 on Target.com. They have larger options that are more but still affordable.

Create 365 Happy Planner

Best planners for homemakers, happy planner, erin condren, sugar paper, inkwell press, blue sky planner, day designer, living well planner

Starting Price: $13

Happy Planners come in three sizes mini, classic, and big. The mini starts at $13, classic starts at $17, and the big starts at $20 on Amazon. I use a classic size and really love it. It’s a disc-bound planner so you can move the pages and add your own. This was a big draw for me. They are also available at Michaels where you can usually get a 40% off coupon.

Recollections Creative Year Spiral Planners

Planners for Every Budget

Starting Price: $14.99

The Recollections planners are Michaels’ brand of planners. They are very nice planners and I’m always drawn to the planners at Michaels. The mini size is $14.99 and the medium is $29.99. They almost always have 40% off coupons making the planners very affordable.

Clever Fox

Starting Price: $21.99

The Clever Fox planner comes in a lot of colors including pink, black, orange and very soon also turquoise, blue, rose and violet. It’s non-dated so you can start at any time. I love the built-in features to help with goal setting and habit tracking.

PurpleTrail Planner

Planners for every budget

Starting Price: $24.95

I learned about PurpleTrail recently and really like their planners. I got one of the weekly planners and plan to use it a bit differently than my other planner. It’s a completely customizable planner. The tiny size starts at $24.95, the 6 x 8″ size starts at $36.95, and the 8.5 x 11″ starts at $46.95.

Bloom Daily Planner

Planners for Every Budget

Starting Price: $24.95

The Bloom Daily Planner is designed to help you de-stress and be creative. It features blank pages for sketching, drawing, or whatever you’d like. It’s very colorful and fun.

InkWell Press

Planners for Every Budget

Starting Price: $44

The InkWell Press daily planner is one I heavily considered before choosing a Happy Planner. I really like the goal setting features included in the planner. They also have weekly options.

Simplified Planner

Planners for every budget

Starting Price: $48

Simplified Planners are beautiful and very high quality. There are daily and weekly options and both are very popular. Every detail is well thought out down to the keepsake box the planner comes in.

Day Designer

Planners for Every Budget

Starting Price: $49

Day Designer is a beautiful spiral bound daily planner. They have cheaper options for monthly and weekly planners, starting at just $14.99. The daily planner is their flagship item though and what they are known for.

Erin Condren

Best planners

Starting Price: $55

The Erin Condren LifePlanner is a big favorite in the planner community. They have started a lot of trends for other planners. The covers are customizable and they have a few layout styles. The teacher planner is also very popular.

With all of these great planner options, you are sure to find one that works for you. Don’t forget to also check out my planner printables.
