Cheap version of a filofax??

Can anyone recommend a cheaper version of the filofax?
I need an A4 sized organiser with a diary, business card holder etc etc that zips closed and the filofax one is ridiculously expensive! have looked on ebay and amazon and they are still about 70 quid!

Saw one in Tesco this afternoon for 7 pounds but its empty and I can't find a diary insert to fit :-(

    I got mine from WHSmiths. Their own version. Much cheaper.

    Try direct from Filofax.

    About £49 for the A4 "Identity" filofax with this years insert.

    Refills are about £14 a year in A4 (for next year).The best part is no changing all those contacts etc every year. Change the insert for the diary & everything else stays.

    A5 size are much cheaper if you can manage? Start at around £29

    I love my old Filofax and have had one for years (who said old yuppie!):D

    How many sheets diary insert do you need? If it's only week-to-view then it shouldn't be too hard to run off 52 sheets of spreadsheet formatted with the days of the week
