I have a kitchen scale that I bought from Target 3 years ago that is made by Taylor. It has done great so far! It weighs up to 11 lbs. and smallest increment is 1 gram. I think it was aroun $25-$30. I bought a second scale off Amazon for smaller increment measurements for around $9-$10 made by AWS. It has also held up well.
