I just went to my favorite store. It is acctually 3 big supremarkets with several floors selling everything you can wish for over the counter in single units, surface mount to things used in the WW1 russian radios :-). Today's shopping list was:

5 pcs LM3940-3.3
2 pcs (two) 0.25W 22 ohm hole mounted resistors
2 pcs 5mW lasers
2 pcs 10 mW lasers
10 pcs 22k variable resistors
2 MicroSD card holders

total cost USD 12

I really can't see the problem and tomorrow I will order PCB's with a 7 days delivery time, but I could get it in 24 hours....
