Recommendations for a cheap scale?

I only have about 20-25$ to spend. What is a reliable scale. I just bought one on a whim, and weighed different 5 times in a row, so I'm taking it back.
It's been three weeks since I weighed at the doctors and 11 days logging and counting calories (1200 cal but over every Friday and Saturday).
I need to figure out if I'm dropping or not.
Thanks for prompt replies. I'm ready to go out and buy one right now.

For what it is worth...
Personally, a food scale has has helped me get a better grip on the "Calories in" category. During the day, my weight can fluctuate +/- 1.5 pounds depending on hydration, recent food type and consumption, etc.0
