Perhaps you are going on a one-time beach trip and need a scoop that will be durable enough to withstand the beach conditions but you don't want to spend a bunch of money on something you may never use again.  Maybe you are just looking for a compact scoop option that will pack away easily and avoid any overage charges for weight at the airport.    Below are two options that will work perfect for you and not break the bank.

14" Sand Scoop with Hole & Brass Probe - $12.92

A scoop and a probe for thirteen bucks?  Sign me up.  This is a perfect little scoop that will fit just about anywhere.  Made of rugged plastic it will stand up to much more abuse than it may appear.  

8 1/2" Hand Held Plastic Sand Scoop - $8.94

 The 8 1/2" plastic scoop will scoop a huge hole for a low price.  Works well in dry sand or surf.

Both of these scoops are great options for those who are only going to use a scoop a few times and don't want to spend a lot of money.  They are lightweight, durable, and work just as well as their metal counterparts.  They may just not last as long under continued or rugged use.
