We do have a kitchen scale. It is like this one
http://www.leeners.com/canning/store/kitchen-scale.shtml

It is not digital doesn't tare.

I know a digital one wouldn't be very expensive, but this is what I have for now.

Is this good enough for what I need?

    It wont be quite as accurate and will be bit cumbersome not being able to tare - but will do the job reasonably well for the time being.

    Certainly better than no scale at all.

    Digital ones really are very cheap - mine was under $20 (australian) from Target or similar place.

    Thanks. That really isn't too expensive. I am sure I will end up buying one.

    I don't like it (it seems flimsy) and doesn't have other features. My husband wants me to try it out first, before buying new.

    This one looks great, works very well (tare is a godsend and grams + ounces saves a ton of time converting).

    digital scales are not that expensive. I bought one for $30 bucks from amazon a few years back. I bought it to weigh puppies, now I use it to weigh food. it does tare and is a really nice scale and not killer expensive at all
