I can't believe I just did this, but after buying a bag of Ruffles Light, Fat Free chips and getting ready to count out 'my fifteen' and finding them all broken- a lightbulb came on.

I put a handful of chips onto a paper towel, walked to the postage machine and promptly laid it out onto it. 1.5oz of chips! Voila! Just perfect.

Thank god no one saw me doing that hahaha. Still, it works, and really keeps you from underguessing chip points.

Great idea! I have a postage scale but I never thought to use it for that!

Not dorky...many people use postal scales because they can usually get them cheaper than regular kitchen scales.

Great idea!

This sounds exactly like something I would do at work that my co-workers would find hilarious! That is too funny, but a great idea!!
