    Weight scale

    Where can you get a cheap weight scale? Can you use a food scale? What is something that I can pick up from Walmart or something that would do the job?

    This is a nice one from Walmart, just kinda small.

    I use a kitchen scale that I bought from Target.

    Cheap, seems to be very accurate, sturdy, and goes up high enough that you should be able to weigh even the biggest balls.

    Re: Weight scale

    I have one from wal mart that is pretty good. It stops at 2000g but you can fool it by calibrating it with a weight on it and then removing it, putting it into a negative number. Once you weigh than you can just add that weight to the outcome. Not ideal, but it was under $20.00 and it is accurate.

    Very cheap($13), shipped in 2 days, and works great. 11lb(5000g) capacity, and 0.1oz readability. Also comes with a 10 year warranty. My only complaint is that it only uses batteries, no ac adapter option.

    Digital...
    maybe someday I'll give up my analog one, but it was 12 bucks & it's accurate. Of course it only goes up to 5 lbs so it can't weigh my bigger girls, but I look at their overall condition & not just weight when they are that size anyways.
    All the Best,
