Beware, some of that stuff is extremely sketchy. Stuff that you used to take for granted, like ceramic capacitors, are being mismarked or poorly made now. What good is an assortment of X7R grade caps anyway, even if they are not out of spec?

The crap RadioShack sells is no less sketchy, believe me. I don't buy caps from RS anymore specifically because they seem to source the worst possible. They just sell crap.
