I've been purchasing from a supplier in the US who has put some nice assortments together. They sell on eBay as well. For example, their full 0805 resistor kit contains all 170 5% values (E24 range) from 1R0 through 10M: each is a cut strip of 25 pcs. Price is US $23.99 or less than a penny and half each. Same price for 0603 & 1206 sizes. 0603 kit 0805 kit 1206 kit They also offer several capacitor assortments: one is 44 values (E12 range) from 0.5pF through to 510pF (all NPO). Another is 34 values of X7R capacitors from 560pF through 0.47uF (E12 range). Both assortments are cut strips of 10 pcs each and are US $8.99 each. Check them out at and and . The eBay auction prices seem somewhat better than the storefront prices.
