Loads of scales around. I particularly like the Salter Diet scales, which costs €5 or €6. It measures up to 450g, in units of 5g, so it's ideal for measuring out a portion of whatever you are likely to eat.

There are also lots of good digital scales around for under €15. They are accurate to 1g and you can usually add another food to them if you want to.

The suggestinos above are all thats needed.

Accuracy is relative. For something to the nearest 5g would be fine.
You only need to go to smaller measurements when dealing with drugs tbh

I would also recommend salter brand scales, you can get loads of types in argos.

+1 on the salter diet scales, got mine in Dunnes but think they have em in Tescos too.

Sorry to drag up old thread but all the food scale threads were.
Would the above recommendations still be advisable?

Outside that when I search on argos I get about 40 results,can also pop into Dunnes or Tesco if they're selling any decent ones.

i've got two of these, had them for a few years. no complaints, they're great.


argos used to stock this version but i didn't see it there now when i looked, i've no experience with other salter models
