Looking to buy a weighing scale

What weighing scale do you use?

I am looking for something accurate and inexpensive.

Not sure if you're referring to a body weight scale or a food scale... but I have suggestions for both.

Body weight scale: http://www.amazon.com/Weight-Watchers-Portable-Precision-Electronic/dp/B0000E13C2/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1365521447&sr=8-7&keywords=weight+watchers+scale

I have this one, and it's accurate. Only annoying feature (and so many have this feature) is that it temporarily "remembers" the last measurement it took. So if you apply the same weight to it multiple times (measuring 3 times) it will give you the same weight unless you vary it significantly (holding an 8 lb weight).

So what I do is take a measurement, step off and place one foot on it. Repeat and take the average.

Food scale: http://www.amazon.com/Weight-Watchers-Points-Electronic-Kitchen/dp/B004EHEY02/ref=sr_1_cc_3?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1365521602&sr=1-3-catcorr&keywords=weight+watchers+food+scale

This one isn't cheap, and I wasn't the one who actually bought it, but I use it everyday and it is excellent!

If you want a cheap food scale you can probably buy a little spring loaded one. Just make sure you have something around to test it with from time to time o make sure it is still reading correctly. Think Us Postal scale.

Thanks! That was useful. I wanted suggestions for both actually.
