Can you recommend a scale that makes weighing out 8ths and Ounces a breeze?

I'm going all out with this hobby. I already have an All American 941 Pressure Cooker and an Excalibur 9 tray dehydrator. Now it's time to invest in a good scale. The one I use currently is a small handheld type one I use for weed. The surface area is not very great. I want to be able to be efficient and weigh things out easily without worrying about making it fit onto the platform. I'm all ears for recommendations! Thanks!
(Btw, if there are non-digital options you think that are worth it, that's cool too, although I haven't used a non-digital scale ever in my life, but I'm pretty open minded and trust you guys.)

3.5 grams is an 8th. 28 in an ounce
I usually just stick a cup on the scale tare it then put whatever I need to weigh in the cup.

I'm aware of what those words mean and how many grams are in an ounce. I was looking for a scale recommendation.

Best. Scale. Ever. Lol, just kidding around. Your weed scale will work fine. I use my small digi scale to weigh my shiz. Plastic 16oz solo cups work great. They have a small enough base to fit on the scale, and are big enough to weigh out ounces.

Polystyrene cups from fast food places also work great. I can fit about two ounces dry in a large cup from McDonald's. I wouldn't recommend eating the food though just get a drink.

Thanks guys! I guess I'll just get a $12-15 digital scale and use a big cup!
