Grocery Store Scale!

I apologize in advance if this is the wrong forum or against the rules, but I Just had an idea.
I don't have a scale at the moment or a way to get one, and I need to measure some accurate doses, so I was thinking I could go to a grocery store that is open 24/7 late at night, and quickly measure out a dose on their scales, hahaha.
I would be super careful and am not too worried about getting caught and giving shrooms a bad name, I am pretty responsible about these things. However, Im not sure how accurate those grocery scales are. One side of me tells me that they will be super accurate cause they are rich and such, but another side of me tells me that they simply dont need to be, Im wondering if anyone has any experience or knows how accurate these scales tend to be?
Wish me luck!

No grocery scale goes to the tenth of a gram. They probably dont go to a gram. Put what ever you need to weigh in a envalope and seal it. get the same envalope and keep it empty and seal it. Go weigh it at your local post offices scale(should be sitting out so you can do it yourself) and subtract the weight of the envalope. If you go weighing it at wallmart your going to jail

Haha, the post idea makes sense. I guess there is no way to possibly get caught, and yeah I figured they wouldnt be accurate enough.
And I dont think wallmart even has scales so yeah.
Thanks for the info man, I appreciate it.

There is no where in town that sells cheap good scales, and I cant do it through ebay.
And yeah the post offices here actualyl weigh it for you, you cant do it yourself, which is annoying. Other suggestions?

Im thinking of maybe stuffing some capsules and then emptying them but just to know dose, since a stuffed capsule is about.5 grams. Yeah that should work I suppose.

Or you could find a local tobacco shop and buy a hanging postal scale for a mere 8 bucks. Almost any town in the country will have hanging postals.

just eat a smallish amount, if it doesn't do anything you know that the dose needs to be higher.
grocery store scales won't even flicker a noticeable measurement if you put a 3.5 gram dose on it. post office scales weight in 1oz increments i think (i've had the idea to use the post office scale in my youth too). anyways, buy a scale online or get used to what an average dose looks like through experimentation.

Or, just eye-ball the dose. Most of the time I dont bother weighing out exact doses, or if/when I do, I end up eating a random ammount after the initial dose anyways.

Well, could try capping them in 00 caps, or using the thimble method which wiccan_seeker posted before.

Yeah Im going to go for the thimble or capsule. Thanks guys. I appreciat e it.
The other thing is like even if its not accurately .5 grams, if I do it everytime I will know what a good dose is for me, so it will work out for sure. I dont mind taking a bit too much so I will go a little on the heavy side rather than light. Thanks again.
