Sensor Module Kit
This was a kit that I spotted that I thought would be useful for little experiments, as you can see from the listing below there are a variety of useful little modules. Here is a picture of them
many of the examples on this site use these breakouts, I prefer this to fitting devices to breadboards. You should be able to pick up this kit for around the $40 mark from various websites, that works out about the $1 a breakout. There's a DS18B20, RGB LED's, joystick and a DHT1 temp and humidity sensor in the box.
