It works wonderfully for making maps for the game (I keep forgetting to make a forest map, I am TERRIBLE at drawing, haha.). The only problem I have is that when I got it, all the papers fell out of it after a few uses. I just started tearing them out.

Not too pricey, and becase you can print them out, you will never run out of things that you need, or will use. I have a few printed out on poasterboard. They make for great instant rooms, or battle areas when you have a few unexpected things happen.

I use easel pads and they are great for pre-drawing encounters. For a highly customizable thing that you'll use over and over again I recommend /u/Gandledorf's comment. The vinyl Chessex mat is great.
If you want to pre-make your battle maps, your can go gridless and cheap with butcher paper
Alternatively, you can do a grid on EITHER grid-backed wrapping paper for cheap (especially after Christmas!!) or go with Easel Paper
