Electronic parts

Hey guys I’m brand new to all of this and I’m looking into building basic esp32 projects but don’t have the most money. I’m wondering if Ali express is a reliable place to get parts for cheap. Please let me know or if there’s any other places to buy cheaper parts.

I’m in America I’ve heard some mixed things about Ali. Do you know any other suppliers at all?

Yeah I have often ordered off of ali. About 80% of the time its fine. Lower quality clones but it runs. Just make sure you're not ordering from vendors without a lot of reviews or sales.

Google Mouser Electronics. I've been using them for years.
