Well, household thermometers don't have to have the accuracy of ones made for incubating like the Spot Check or Egg-Temp (same unit, different distributors). And if you use it more than once, the accuracy can go down due to condensation inside the unit from being in an enclosed, moist environment. My little suction cup/big numeral springfield that used to be accurate now reads 2 degrees too low on temp and 10% too low on humidity so I no longer rely on it. If you incubate alot, I'd get one specially made for the job that has a claimed accuracy rating. Spot Check's is +/- .18 (point one eight).
