Food scale recommendations?

I think it's time to make the jump to weighing instead of measuring when I get back from the holidays. Anyone have any that they particularly like? I'm looking for something relatively inexpensive and that won't take up too much space as my counter space is super limited already.

Anything that you can change from grams to ounces and has a tare feature should do. Digital is easier to read than a non-digital.

Thanks.

Yeah, any digital one - they're about $25

I have one from Amazon, that's lasted well in my kitchen for five years:

Go digital, make sure it does conversions, and the tare function is super handy. Been using an Ozeri for over a year with no complaints.

I picked up a Taylor at Target for like 25$ and it's done its job well in the year I've had it.

I bought a cheap one from Amazon that had decent reviews, tare button and conversion between oz->g->lb. Less than 10 bucks.

When I got it, I weighed various items to see how accurate it was. It was pretty accurate but always slightly overestimated, which is fine by me because no scale is perfect and I'd rather it overestimate than underestimate.
