Looking to get a decent food scale, I have one now from Walmart and it's just not cutting it anymore. Looking for inexpensive better food scales, any suggestions would be great

    My preference is for mail scales since they seem to have a larger surface area and do fine with small weights.
    What's wrong with the one you have.

    I'm really just using it for portion control and more accurate serving sizes, doesn't have to be anything too fancy. Mine now just goes between 340g and 0 with no other numbers like it is glitching out

    I thought I would be the only one using a mail scale. I like it - the only disadvantage being that I'd like to be able to switch between ounces and grams on occasion. USPS doesn't seem to care about grams. :smile:

    Looking at some of the links, I'm getting envy that they go up to 15 lbs. That would come in handy when cooking large batches of something.

    Yep, mine is starting to get glitch too. I put something on the scale and the numbers keep changing every few seconds, and yes I've changed the batteries (had it for about 3 years). Walmart is as good of place as any to get one
