<div>Love to second Al Lasher's, they are pretty helpful/friendly, and I've found their prices on a lot of components to be rather comparable to internet-prices (shipping included, and assuming you aren't ordering 3 billion resistors at once or something). </div>

And Jameco lets you order online and then pick up your order in person I think sometimes the same day. You can't browse IRL though. <a href="http://www.jameco.com/" target="_blank">http://www.jameco.com/</a><div class="HOEnZb">

I know techshop has a little store attached to their operation, it<br>
might be less of a rip off than radio shack.<br>
<br>
Further afield there is HSC (Lawrence Caltrain), could always organize<br>
a field trip with friends...<br>

Aside from Radio Shack, where do people go in this town to buy hook-up wire, solder, barrel plugs, crimp housings, battery holders et al? I think Radio Shack probably has everything I want, but if there's somewhere with a better range (accessible by public transport) I'll give that a go first.<br>
