They are accurate to the gram, which is good enough for me right now. I didn't pay any more than fifteen pounds, as I recall.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10589360738483629810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913431369918059916.post-31155580378282626342007-08-05T10:44:00.000-07:002007-08-05T10:44:00.000-07:00hey im a regular reader of your blog and was just ...hey im a regular reader of your blog and was just wondering if you might recommend some good food scales to me? i'm just a poor college student so im trying to find one that is accurate but not too too expensive. thanks!ahh_diddumshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07741713031827980909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913431369918059916.post-11886739248806742632007-08-04T18:43:00.000-07:002007-08-04T18:43:00.000-07:00Hi SarahCould I make a suggestion, because it seem...Hi Sarah<BR/>Could I make a suggestion, because it seems to be working for me? After spending ocassionally about $115 every week at Whole Foods, I decided to CRONize my shopping. So for just $3.25 I bought a calculator at Walgreens and now keep it in the backpack I take when shopping at Whole Foods. I weigh everything and enter every amount spent. I've decided to stay within $85 for groceries, and that if it goes over because of supplements, that will be okay. It has helped me make good decisions. Coconut flavoring, for example, around here is twice as expensive as in the tropics, so I opt for vanilla or orange flavoring, which is half the cost. I would not have noticed if I wasn't calculating. Now the employees at Whole Foods are on my side - they like shopping there also but know they have to be careful. They wink at me. With my calculator I noticed today that the Whole Foods brand of garbanzos was half the price of the other brand they carried. After I put away the expensive brand and grabbed the Whole Foods brand, I heard an intelligent European man tell his wife, "put that down, it's too expensive". My bill, including supplements, was exactly $75 today. Cheers, Arturo<BR/>PS Thanks for the funny post. There are indeed a lot of food p0rn sites out there.Arturohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10971352220152467379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913431369918059916.post-14084123837173461032007-08-04T10:28:00.000-07:002007-08-04T10:28:00.000-07:00I know what you mean about food blogs!

The vegetable posts and photos are so inspiring and I've mentally adapted a few recipes for CRON purposes.<BR/><BR/>So what are your favourite foodie blogs?JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751998938214351562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913431369918059916.post-54577222166944800652007-08-03T15:28:00.000-07:002007-08-03T15:28:00.000-07:00Hello again Sara!
