Note that digikey doesn't charge handling.  If you use USmail, it's
just a few dollars for shipping.  I use digikey as my first choice
supplier (with priority usmail, about $5, but regular mail for small
packages is $2.36), as I've found nobody else that carries all the
things I buy, although the occasional specialty item requires other
suppliers (mouser, jameco top my list).

Only if I need to go to a second supplier do I do a price comparison,
and by from each whatever is cheaper there.
