    I love my food scale.. It scares me to know how much i was off with my food consumption (by too much) when i used measuring cups! I got mine for under $25 at Target or Wal-mart. Its electronic kitchen scale model: 93751 but it doesn't even have the brand on it, lol, i was just looking... Weird.
    it weighs in grams (my preferred method) or ounces/pounds. It also has a tare function. Its compact and stores easily and easy to keep clean as it has a flat glass surface with no crevices.

    I also got a $20 small digital scale from Walmart. Works great, doesn't take up much space, measures in grams, ounces and lbs. Really easy to use. One of the best investments I've made when it comes to eating and weight loss.

    I use my moms 1970 little white plastic one. She never even noticed I took it and never uses it. It is the size of maybe a grapefruit and i just put a sandwich bag on it and food on that to weigh it so I dont have to worry about bacteria getting on it or having to clean it every single meal or snack. Looks alot like this one below the one below is under 10 dollars at walmart

    I didn't spend too much and bought the Biggest Loser kitchen scale at Bed Bath Beyond, with a coupon it was $15. It works great and has the ounces and grams, plus calibrates your container so you only are weighing the food, not the container. It is small, doesn't take up much space. It has been really helpful to understant portion control better, which I thought I did and was wrong. :smile:

    I have a cheap, $5 scale that I got at Target. It works great! I love it and use it daily.

    I use mine all the time - I'm amazed at how much my estimates were off.

    I bought this one (looks very similar to the one you're looking at).

    We use a escali daily. As well as measuring cups on our veggies, soups, stews ect.... It will keep you on track.
