Micro Center has an Arduino Basic Starter Kit on sale for $20. This has everything you need to get started with the Arduino and make some neat projects.

 

http://www.microcenter.com/product/435328/Arduino_Compatible_Basic_Starter_Kit

 

SKU: 342014 Mfr Part #: 337246 UPC: 618996979738

 

Northern Virginia/Fairfax

3089 Nutley Street

Pan Am Plaza

Fairfax, VA 22031

(703) 204-8400

Mon - Sat 10 to 9, Sun 11 to 6

 

The parts alone are worth more than $20:

Arduino UNO R3 board

IR Remote Control

IR Receiver

74HC595 8-bit shift register

A bunch of LEDs in various colors

2 7-segment displays

8x8 LED array

3 photoresistors

Flame sensor

LM35 temp sensor

2 ball tilt sensors

resistors and pot

buzzers

push buttons

breadboard

USB cable

Dupont jumpers

battery pack

 

The documentation link on the Micro Center website is not very useful. This kit is actually a re-brand of the Sainsmart kit that sells for $40:

http://www.sainsmart.com/starter-kits/uno-r3-smartkits/sainsmart-uno-r3-starter-kit-with-16-basic-arduino-projects.html

 

The Sainsmart link has good documentation for download with code for projects using all the parts in the kit with nothing else needed. There are some other projects that require additional low cost components.
