It has probably been discussed, but humor me.

Jul 11, 2008 at 2:55 pm #1442548I use a Cuisinart SA-100MWH Precision Gourmet Scale I got on sale. They are $60-70 new. it measures to 5g or about 1/4 ounce.
Jul 11, 2008 at 3:40 pm #1442553I used this one http://www.lnt.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2545351&cp=&sr=1&origkw=salter&kw=salter&parentPage=search
11 lbs and accurate to .1 oz
Jul 11, 2008 at 4:00 pm #1442557jeremy, i have the same one as chris has, as i use it alot for cooking. it is very accurate. i believe i got it from bakers catalog. you might beable to find it cheaper elsewhere, but check them out. also you could try ebay, but then i would worry about it being not as accurate as new.
Jul 11, 2008 at 9:01 pm #1442599Got mine at Target for about $25-$30. It's a digital that does standard or metric down to the hundredth w/ a 5 lb max. About any mega-mart type place will have one, probally in the kitchen stuff isle. I'm sure you could go crazy and get one with some kind of scientific/weights and measures endorsement that reads to the millionth of an oz., but this one is good enough for me.
Jul 12, 2008 at 12:17 am #1442612Jul 14, 2008 at 4:05 pm #1442912i got mine at my post office. Electronic, small, $30.
Jul 15, 2008 at 2:38 pm #1443062I use 2 types:
1. Office Depot 11 lb postal scale. Nice for most items. Also, I can put a bucket on the scale, zero it out, and then weigh my stuff.
2. Hanging scale. American Weigh H66. I think it weighs up to 50 lbs. or so. I like it a lot for hard to weigh items such as packs, sleeping bags. I also like it for the "final" weigh in. Cost about 26.00
I think both are good to have.

I have a my weigh 7001 DX. Accurate to 1 gram and max 7kg.
