Seeking Food Scale Recommendations

SaberEsPoder

I am looking to get a food scale but have never bought one before. I don't have a lot of money but I don't want a really cheap one that won't measure correctly or tends to break.

Do you have a great food scale that you would recommend? What was the brand/type/cost, and where did you get it?
Was there a *terrible* scale you would say to avoid?

I bought the Biggest Loser one from Bed, Bath and beyond using a 20% coupon. It cost less than $15. It works fine for what I need. It has ounces, grams and tare function.

Mine doesn't have a brand name on it. I got it for 14.99 at Kohl's last September. You don't really need to spend alot for one.

Search Amazon for food scales. Sort by price (low to high). Find one with 4+stars. Make sure it measures in g, oz, and if you want it lbs and kgs.
Buy it!

It's great, it has a tare, does weight in grams, oz, kilos. I'm sure the one above is great too.

Look at WilliamSonoma...I got mine there for about $25.00 and love it. Its light and easy to use (but I dont remember the brand name).

It should weigh in grams, have a tare function, and be digital. So basically any of them.

I have a Perfect Portions nutritional scale and love it! It was a gift.....I think they run around $50.00 though.If I'm not mistaken,I think I saw some nutritional scales at Wal-Mart...they didn't carry them when I was looking.
