you have no scale no problem now this wont give you an EXACT amount but this should be straight get a board and a cylindrical object it should be hard to find an exact spot to keep the board level while on top ( harder the better cause this mean even very small difference is shown ) place and ounce of of spice or anything that you can buy at a store that is wieghed in ounces on one side at the same time you add the baggy your buying.DO NOT MOVE THE BOARD!!! if you do it with out any mistakes and the board falls in the direction of the spices or whatever than you are being jipped off if it falls to the side with the pot say you messed up and tipped it but you dont care cause your tired of doing the GHETTO SCALE
