I stole my wife's weightwatcher's scale a year ago and it still hasn't been missed. Closest thing I found to it online is at Target for the Salter or the Taylor, but you got to remember you get what you pay for and for $30 (and free shipping), you may get one of those Chinese lemons that just don't work.

I've used my obsconded one for a year now without any problem. Use a plate or piece of cardboard and the "tare" feature to reset to zero to get an accurate weight of the gear or food.

Still have a feeling someday I'll move up a notch and get a semi-pro one, so think about it: pay now or pay later. Pay now and you'll be poorer, but probably happier sooner longer. For 10 bucks more trailrunner's Pelouze scale sure seems to be a better-built scale.
