Hey there! I'm pretty new to the hobby but I did just buy everything I needed recently. I'm not quite sure where you live but if there is a Wal-Mart close by, I totally recommend going there! In the Kitchen isle they have a food prep and nutritionist digital scale with one small and one large bowl for only twenty bucks. I know the bowls wont be big enough eventually but for a twenty spot its still going to get many years of use! Hope that helps! (Oh, its from this off-brand company called Oyster.)
