Neither Mouser nor Digi-Key has a minimum order these days.  However,
minimum _shipping_ cost is an issue... even the cheapest method
(usually first-class parcel) costs enought that ordering just a
half-dozen resistors doesn't make sense.

Digi-Key does still offer a "mail-order" method with a benefit:  if
you send in your order by mail, and include a check for payment in
full, they'll ship the order to you (their choice of methods) at no
charge.  I haven't discovered whether there's a way for you to
"pre-fill" an order on-line (and then either submit it for processing,
or print it out in a mailable format) - lacking that I suppose the
thing to do is fill it out in a spreadsheet, with all of the proper
part numbers, and print that.

There are plenty of vendors on eBay and elsewhere who sell various
parts assortments - kits of resistors and capacitors.  Most of these
are probably generic Chinese-made parts, and I can't swear to the
quality of them, but they're probably a reasonable way to stock up on
noncritical parts at a modest cost.
