I'll bite Whirly's bullet...(then she can't shoot me down)....
Walmart's clipboard, roughly equivalent to A5: 73 cents.
I didn't want to appear too flash, so limited myself to two (one to use, one to lose). Despite travelling extremely light I managed to lose one by the time I unpacked in Blighty, thus proving my foresight. It turned up a year later, exactly where I hadn't found it previously, so perhaps I should offer it on e-bay....
