They're so cheap that I've almost completely given up on breadboarding/protoboarding hobby stuff. Throw a design together, have it show up a week or so later, solder it together, do some testing, reorder if you goofed up too much or bodge wire the ones you did order (a component I used neglected to mention one of its output was open-collector...) Admittedly, it does feel a bit wasteful to order 5 of something that is going to be a one-off. Problem is, ordering all the little SMT adapters modern components need and protoboarding it usually costs the same...
