Depending on where you are, I've found the following to be good to
deal with (compared to RadioShack)

Sayal Electronics - http://www.sayal.com/ - Southern Ontario
Active Tech (formerly part of Future Electronics) -
http://www.active-tech.ca/ - All across Canada
Supremetronic - http://www.supremetronic.com/ - Toronto, Queen Street
(a few doors down from Active Surplus)

Also, depending on what you want, check eBay. Some of the sellers
there can't be beat for things like Blue and White LEDs (I got 100
Blue for a little less than $20CAD, IIRC)
