| I bought a Salter one in the UK for about $40. If you're in or around
Nashua, try Lechemere's.

| I bought a good one at the kitchen store in Pheasant Lane Mall. They had a
couple of models to choose from, too.

| A digital scale??? I went there *and* to Lechemere and neither had a
digital scale.
Service Merchandise had one but it was $45 and I didn't want to pay
that much.
D!

| I'm slightly confused. DO you mean a kitchen scales or scales to weigh
you? I meant the latter.
$45 is quite a reasonable price for such scales, because they really
are that price....How much did you want to spend?
You could always try Spags.

| 696.5 | diet scale = kitchen scale | TLE::TLE::D_CARROLL | A woman full of fire | Sat Sep 14 1991 17:11 | 4 |
| Kitchen scale. For weighing my food. You know, range from about 1 oz
to 1 pound.

| Sorry, I misunderstood. In the UK, where I live, there's a good
selection form a large Pharmacy chain called "Boots" for about $20-30.
Thinking along similar lines, you could try CVS?

| If it's $45 at service merchandise, go for it. The one I bought at PLM (I think
it's called the Kitchen Store??) was about $60, and the the other model was
about $80. The model I bought is battery operated, with a digital LED display.
It is switch selectable from grams (1g) to ounces (0.1 oz). It weighs up to
around 2+ lbs. You press the display to turn it on. With weight on the scale,
you press the display to set the tare. It has two battery saver features. If
the display is 0, it will turn off after a few seconds. If the display is non-
zero, it will turn off and flash a ' in the corner of the display. Pressing
the diplay restores it. After the flashing ' is displayed for a bit, the scale
will turn off. Both of the saver features are easy to get along with.
The more expensive model had a higher capacity (4+ lbs??).
I'm suprised the place does not have them anymore (they were on the right hand
wall about 3/4 of the way to the back).
However, this should help you decide price & features for the others you may
find.
By the way, I've had mine for over a year now, and I weigh just about everything
I eat. I figure the $60 is downright cheap, compared to the price of many of
the kitchen gadgets I own, because I use this several times every day.

| Hmmm. I use alkaline batteries (4 or 6 aa's) and I've replaced them once
in a year. I guess the battery saver circuits in mine work.
