If you decide to buy supplements, I'd recommend avoiding GNC if you can as they're a huge ripoff even with their member "savings." Popeyes usually has sales, so I'd recommend subscribing to their e-mails as I usually stock up when they have them. Bodybuilding.com can still be good if you buy in bulk to spread out the shipping costs, and they have a lot of BOGO deals.
If you're just starting out, I would focus on improving nutrition first instead of spending money on supplements, which could get expensive very quickly.
Reading online and talking to others, the only supplements you really need especially when starting out should be protein, creatine and BCAAs. Buy creatine monohydrate instead of the brand name stuff with all the fillers. I bought a tub with 300+ servings for $25, and I still haven't finished it. It's flavourless and I just mix it with water after my workouts.
As for protein, avoid the cheap stuff that you buy at walmart or superstore, as the quality stuff mixes much better, good flavours and they're less likely to upset your stomach. Just make sure the majority of your protein still comes from food.
Pre-workout is usually expensive, so I only stock up when they're on sale, but you probably don't need it and may be able to get away with an afternoon coffee if you need a kick. Pre usually has to get cycled off because your body begins to build resistance to the stimulants. If you find that you're having trouble sleeping, maybe adjust the dosage to half of what they recommend on the label.
