People who weigh food, how frequently do you use yours during the day?

    I live in Canada and purchased mine off of ebay and it came from China. Cost me $4. I have had it over a year and changed the batteries once and I use it multiple times a day. I would say it's whatever brand you are buying.

    Salter, Taylor (heard bad things from others about this one) and Starfrit. GAH.

    Maybe it's the batteries? lol man i don't know, that's just crazy. Or maybe I am just lucky with the one I got lol
    Seriously check out ebay, sometimes things from China take a lot longer to come, I think I waited a couple months for mine, but it's worth paying substantially lower!

    Either Canada gets the reject scales, the reject batteries... or BOTH! I also wondered if I was putting the batteries in wrong but then again if I had.... the scales wouldn't have turned on :p But mamapeach said she changes her batteries pretty well monthly, so maybe there are differences in use that affect battery life?

    I reaaaally need a damn plug-in one.

    I've been actively weighing every day for around 4 months, i think... It feels like forever LOL

    I use my scale 3-4 times a day, I haven't had to change the battery yet. Mine uses one of those little coin shaped batteries.

    I use my scale about 2-4 times a day. The only thing I have to weigh at breakfast is my Greek yogurt. I tend to weigh about 3 items at lunch, but I get interrupted sometimes and have to turn the scale on and off and tare it. Dinner is when I weigh the most foods and there is almost always an interruption so I'm turning it on or off about 3 times.

    When I was at college (I just graduated and moved home in December) my mom bought me a cheap scale from Target and I used a lot, probably close to 10x a day. I only had to replace the batteries once or twice in two years, and it used those flat lithium batteries. Now I use my mom's weight watcher scale and I haven't had to replace the batteries yet. I think that the Target scale was a bit more sensitive, but the WW scale is bigger, easier to weigh things on, read, and has more features.

    Look on ebay.ca They have the MyWeigh scale for sale for a little less than $40 (CAD). I think I saw an adapter listed as well. Hope this helps!
