Several of my best friends and I are all active members of a weight loss group – Take Off Pounds Sensibly. The president of our TOPS chapter suggested that we each get a good bathroom scale to keep track of our weight, as well as a kitchen food scale to monitor our food portions. I knew it could cost plenty to purchase those scales. Therefore, I was thrilled to see that DealDash.com offered both kinds of scales, and they are high-quality ones, too!

First I bid on and won an Eat Smart Precision Get Fit Digital Body Fat Scale that measures not only weight but also body fat, water, muscle and bone mass. Not long after that my friends wanted one, too. I knew those scales would make excellent birthday gifts, but I could not afford to pay full price. Instead, I started winning them on DealDash.com and now nearly all my friends have the scales they need.

Soon after I won a bathroom and food scale for myself, I won two more to give to my best friends for their birthdays. Of course, I could not win all of the time, so I did do a Buy-It-Now to get all my bids back on a few of them. Back on April 24, I won a $57 Ozeri Touch Digital Bath Scale for only 25 cents and 4 bids. I plan to give this one to my granddaughter, a soon-to-be sophomore in college, for Christmas.

I also won several kitchen scales. I won a $36 Taylor Stainless Steel Electronic Kitchen Scale for only 8 cents and 3 bids — one of my best wins so far. I won my first $26 EatSmart Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale for 62 cents and 22 bids. Last March 26, I won a $39 Taylor Digital Kitchen Scale for only 34 cents and 15 bids. Overall, I got some fantastic deals on scales. I even use my food scales to weigh my clothes to wear my lightest clothes to TOPS to ensure I come in with a weight loss.
