    Target, kohl's, walmart, just about all stores that sell measuring cups sell food scales. Get out, and get it today.

    Yes. I recently bought one. Have been using mine for a few weeks. **good investment** if accuracy is important to you

    I didn't think I needed a food scale until I kept wondering why my weight loss wasn't progressing after the water weight, definite yay! Going to buy one myself, need a lil nifty tool like that in my life!

    Yay! I think I have 3. I keep one in my desk drawer at work and 2 at home. I purchased mine off of Amazon for like 12 bucks. Totally worth it!

    Yes. They are not expensive and make estimating your calories a lot more accurate.
