scale recommendations
 
Im looking for a scale to weigh my buggy that it would be a good tool for me .. but not worth spending a bunch of money... I want it to read grams and be as accurate as possible ... any recommendations

I went to target, and found a digital scale in the cooking department. Its measures up to 11lbs and measures in grams, oz, and lbs. I think it was around 30 bucks.

Yes, just go to you local super market and pick up a kitchen scale. The one I picked up is made by Starfrit, goes up to 11lbs and only cost about $20. Save your money and buy a cheaper kichen scale and not a pricey hobby brand one. Unless you like spending more because it's a certain brand.

I use the same one. I got it on sale at Canadian Tire for 12.50.

Works great. :)

The 2 times I ever weighed a buggy, I just took it to the post office and ask to weigh..... simple as that.

Same here, I'm cheap I guess. The post office is a block away and it is free to weigh it.

I just picked up a scale when I was at the post office shipping out an engine one time. Was like 25 bucks or so. Weighs up to 10 lbs and does either lbs/oz, oz, grams, or kg/g. Pretty nice scale and very consistant/accurate. Its the USPS one.
