If you are just starting out I would buy some blanks from Axminster they are reasonably priced and usually easy to turn and finish.

I buy my blanks from a number of suppliers but they are not cheap one of my favourites is Pam Harris. The turners workshop is another I like Conway Stewart and Oma's blanks as well as some others. But like you when starting out I bought all sorts of stuff not knowing what I was doing and probably wasted a lot of money. So you are right to ask the question.
