When Radio Shack in the US still had components for sale, they were absurdly more expensive than Digikey or Mouser. I think I remember a 5 pack of 220ohm resistors being $2.99. Digikey will sell you 100 for under two dollars. I suppose it would have to do if you're in a pinch, but there's a reason walk-in electronics stores have mostly vanished.
