Usually capacitors do not share a package
(not high quality matched ones)

You can buy 1% capacitors. They will be expensive.
You should consider WHAT type of capacitors you
need...
It would not make too much cense to match capacitors
to
1% that drift 5% with temperature or have other bad
side effects.

Have you seen (my  ;^) capacitor guide on
www.musicsynthesizer.com, or other sites (I forget
which ones...).

I don't really like Mylar (polyester) caps much...
OTOH I just bought 1000 from Mouser. They have them
in 2% values.  I bought 5% because a cheap cap is a
cheap cap...
