Last time I was looking for PICs, buy.microchip.com was the cheapest - this was for quantity though.

Crownhill list these at £6.50.
Realistically, the answer will depend on the quantity involved. Buying
direct from Microchip, is normally the cheapest route once quantities go
over a very few (tens) off. If you are talking at least a hundred off,
expect to get under £4.

Thanks for the info - I'm only looking to purchase 50, but even at this
amount Microchip is cheapest.

It's going to depend how many and what's acceptable lead-time.

I use Unique-Memec for Microchip parts (min order value £100). Their prices
for 100 PICs are usually about two-thirds of Farnell/RS prices for the same
quantity, but you may have to wait a few weeks for delivery if they are not
ex-stock. BTW they will take credit card orders if you don't want to set up
an account with them.

If you only want a couple then you could order samples from Microchip's
website.
