Need an inexpensive scale?

I see so many posts in these forums where users don't have a scale. Hopefully this low cost option will be of use to some.

I have several of these scales. I keep one in my EDC bag and use it when I travel. The scale is small, approximately an inch longer than a deck of playing cards. Because of this you won't be weighing a whole plate of food. It works well for weighing individual items. I place a small 8 oz clear bowl on the platform. This works well for most things. The scale is very accurate, especially for the price. The best part is the scale is currently $6.61 on Amazon. If you have Prime, delivery is free. Here's the specs:

The bowl you see in the picture was purchased from my local Ikea. It is 5.5 inches in diameter. Here's the link:
