As the title says, I need a scale. Any ideas?
We used to market our veggies years ago and did pretty well. Thinking of trying it again next year but I'll have to get a new scale.

I used to love the ones with brass weights.

Oops! I am living well into the past. Now everything is digital. I just use my spring-loaded kitchen scales. It weighs up to 11 pounds but it is very hard to weigh a ten bag of anything.

I was looking at the digital ones. $30 to $40. Not to bad..

I have a Salter Brecknell 311 from Office Max that I used to use for mailing boxes. I get the tare of the bowl/colander and can weigh up to 11 lbs / 5000 grams max.
