Don't forget awesome sites like octopart to find good deals on things 
and quickly compare prices. pcbshopper is another one specific to pcb 
fabrication and assembly if you're also getting that done.

octopart has introduced me to a few non-digikey and non-mouser sites, my 
favourite right now is electro-sonic ( https://www.e-sonic.com/ ) they 
are in Canada which is a bonus, but their prices on a lot of things are 
also significantly better than digikey/mouser.
