Find the package type you need, in this case I've selected the PIC16F886 - I/SP which is the DIP package part used in the CHIPINO module. Then click on the little grey sample box to the left to load the part in your checkout basket.
You can click on that up to three times to get three samples of one part number and you are allowed to get two different part numbers in one sample order. I believe you are limited to 6 total samples per month but for a hobbyist, this can be a monthly way to stock up your lab.
When you are done selecting your samples, you step through the check out process. Enter your shipping address and then complete the final order submission. In most cases they are shipped out for free.
