Recommendations for a scale for meauring flake food?

[platytudes]

I've decided that I want to make a bulk order of Ken's food to share with other hobbyists

I know lots of you do similar things. What do you use to weigh the food? Would something like this work?

I'm trying to keep it at $30 or below if possible...

I think you will have greater flexibility with this
The scale you're looking at only weights up to 1.5 pounds... IME

I guess it depends on what size portions you will distribute.

Well, I am thinking of buying the 1/2 pound bags of flake so the orders would be only 2-3 pounds, I think. Since I would most likely ship everything in small to medium flat rate boxes I don't think I need a 10 lb scale, I was actually more worried about having a scale that would weigh in grams That's why I think I need digital, right? Ooh, not to mention an online conversion calculator in my Bookmarks

:thumbsup: gram scale! The one I posted, weighs increments of 10th ounces... This may not work for you, or it may. GL

Yep, I'd go with digital. Make sure the surface area is big enough too and has a tare function (zeros out after measuring the empty container so you are only measuring the actual stuff without having to do the math).
