Default Got a good deal on a scale....

I wanted to pass this on to my TT friends, in case any of you are in the market for a new scale.

I recently bought this scale: Buy Tanita Scale, Ironman Model BC552 Online at drugstore.com at drugstore.com for $39.99 plus $5.99 shipping. I thought this was a really good deal, since it is $89.99 at Circuit City.

It's on backorder right now, meaning you can order it, but it won't ship for a week or two. It's a very nice scale, it does your body fat % (very accurate...almost exactly the same as what the scale at my surgeon's office does), total body water %, muscle mass, basal metabolic rate, and of course, your weight. It can save info for 4 people, if desired.

An added plus for me with this scale is that it uses regular AA batteries, instead of those funky non-replacable batteries or super expensive lithium batteries that a lot of scales have now. I already had a nice scale, but the non-replacable lithium battery was starting to go bad, so the entire scale had to be thrown away. What a waste!
