[sdiy] Cap assortment?

My caps are garbage, I never have the right values for synth work.
When I do they're usually nasty disc caps. In fact, I literally have
something like 4000 of several useless values in huge bags.

I want to stock the box so that means buying a bunch all at once.
Trying to make my way through digikey or mouser is a nightmare. I
really just don't know what to get. Can anyone recommend either
several assortments, or, some specific ranges of part numbers that are
a particularly good value?

As an example, I have no problem buying resistors I just go for the 1%
guys 200 at a time from mouser. I don't bother with 5% resistors at
all anymore unless I already have them and don't specifically need a
1%.

BTW: Despite the fact that you can get all 14 "All for one money",
this is not what I have in mind.
