"Weighing in"
« on: July 05, 2006, 02:26:25 PM »
 Can anyone offer recommendations on a good place to find a decent digital scale at a reasonable (cheap) price? I'm not looking for the Rocket Scientist type, just a simple countertop jobbie that works decent. I've had no luck at "Wally World" or the other obvious places.

Thanks! ;D

I got a pretty good digital scale at a very reasonable price at our Staples.

I looked at our Staples, and the only thing they had that would even work was like 90 bucks.

Thanks though!

I found a digital scale, oz. or grams, 5.5 pound max. capacity, at Wal-Mart for about $23.

I think it is intended to be used to weigh food portions.

Your local Wally World has the in the office product section.  I paid a little more than $20 for mines.  Also got one from the Bay for about $10 including shipping.  It doesn't do grams but it will go up to 10lb.
