Supercheap for clamps.
Bunnings for chisels. They have a three-pack or Trojan branded chisels that are actually not bad and hold and edge well when sharpened correctly. I think my set was $25. The Trojan rubber mallet is less than $10, I think, and perfectly serviceable.
I can't find the exact set on the site at the moment, but probably these will be okay too.
For beginners saws, I'd recommend the mini Ryoba. Mine is still on it's original blade and has done heaps of work, but still like new.
For very fine work, you can't beat a cheap Dozuki saw.
Of course, using chisels fucking sucks if they aren't sharp. Like properly sharp, not just ground roughly on a bench grinder or whatever crap oil stone came with a set.
Fortunately, honing guides are cheap as, and super good for people starting out.
Unfortunately, cheaping out on sharpening stones will mean crappy results if you're doing joinery.
The best bang for buck I've found is this diamond plate. #300 side grit for re-adjusting bevels, #1000 side to start your polish and actual sharpening. Having the base holder thing with it is super-useful. Just don't use water on it, use glass cleaner.
With this plate you can get things pretty sharp, but for getting your polish and micro bevel game on for stupid sharp, these look pretty good for the money.
Personally I use a large #8000 King stone, then a leather strop with rubbing compound.
What have we missed?
well, the ryobi is loud. I've got my in a box which helped a ton, but upgrading that at some point to something that doesn't need to go in a box is definitely on my to do list.
The DC.... also loud. Probably not as loud or as screechy though. Both require hearing protection so I'd put them on roughly the same level. Just saying don't expect something whisper quiet =)
Making a cupboard for the DC to cut out noise is one of my eventual one-day sorta plans.
Re the bag, i think from amazon - probably this one: https://www.amazon.com/POWERTEC-70001-Collector-20-Inch-31-Inch/dp/B005VSAP74/ref=sr_1_26
It was a little big for my DC so I had to pad out the seal with tape to get it tight. Also requires the bottom bag to be plastic, rather than the cloth bag the DC's often come with
I found the Ali ones pretty crap to be honest. I got a couple of these and a couple of months later, they are still going well. I'm a DIY guy rather than a tradie though
i am happy with similar ones from amazon and paid a little bit more.
If I was buying again, I'd probably go for these aliexpress ones, they are probably the same

https://www.amazon.com/Tage-Teaches-Woodworking-Step-Step/dp/1561588261 these are good introductory-intermediate books for getting started.
For basic videos, you'll see a lot of pocket hole jigs in use. Generally skip 'em unless you're going to be doing a lot of knock-together type stuff - they're expensive and the joints they create are pretty weak.
Amazon's your best source for almost all tools price-wise. The shipping sucks, but it's still way cheaper.
I'm actually in the process of making my own following this recipe. It's basically just boiled linseed oil, gum turpentine (not mineral) and beeswax.
Expensive to make in NZ, but it'll be worth it!
Failing that there is the commonly used Minwax kind.
