Get some chinese package from ebay, they usually give a good start of components and an arduino for like 20$.

Since the design is open source, fake Uno boards are actually pretty good.
They may not be as reliable, but I got four of them for the price of one legit Uno.
Start with a fake.
(In fact, you can even assemble your own Arduino "Uno" using a ATmega 328p, breadboard, xtal osc, a few caps and a bunch of jumpers and resistors) -
@nobes it really does not matter if fake or not, fakes are as supported by the arduino IDE as original ones for a long time now.

@nobes I would suggest buying a range of capacitors and resistors, both cost roughly 10$ for a pack too.

Basically compare what set gives you most that interests you and go with it, the first one linked seems on quick look to be pretty good. 😊
