Most Mom n Pop hardware stores and stalls sell the analog versions of what you are looking for for a few bucks - very small and light, just a grip, hook and a scale display

Image They look like this but usually red, yellow or green in colour minus the very expensive brand name

I imagine they might also have digital types

Bought mine at the big book shop in Monivong many years ago for about $10. .. Always take it with me when buying half kg of beef etc as it's so much easier to read a number than guess where the pointer is on a dial. In almost every case when buying something from the market it is always under weight.

I like to put a 500ml bottle of water on the sellers scale if I think it's reading heavy. If they respond with anger you know they are trying to steal

I use the regular weighing scale. I weigh myself and then weigh myself with my bag. Works fine!

A bit hard to do if you want to buy a kg of pork at the market
