This is not being unfriendly, but best answered by your flying school/instructor...

As Helinut says, your school will give you a list. As for where, there are a number of websites, does the local flying club sell what you need? Often with small orders, when you add postage etc., the local club is as close as makes no different in the aviation world. Support them buy getting the stuff from them.

Some schools also have a discount code you can pop into a suppliers website, which works for some routine items, if they don't sell what you need.

Sheepish

If you think about cheapish at this stage, stop right there and forget the whole thing.

Malboro smokes packet, one way 30 nautical miles, other way 60 on a wac map, real cheap. Mickey mouse wrist watch so you easy see difference between big hand and his little hand, also cheap.
Hang a pair of pliers over the compass so you can't use it, get out there and learn something you won't forget, and worth heaps, priceless in fact.
Keep this for old jungle saying for your grandkids
