Can someone make me a list of one-time shopping items?

[September]

I'm hoping to bring home my first beardie in a month or two, but I'm a little confused on what all they need. Could someone please list everything they need at first? Like what kind of light, how big an aquarium, what to put in the bottom, everything I need to buy before I bring him home? And then what they need the day they come home? Like perishable stuff I should wait to buy until I'm ready for my beardie? I would greatly appreciate it!

This is more geared toward a younger dragon ...

• Minimum 20 gal long enclosure as a starter for a baby or young juvenile, a minimum 40 gal Breeder for an adult. It is much more cost effective to go with the 40+ gal enclosure right off the start, rather than upgrade in 4-5 months. Should have a Screened Top. There are also custom enclosures available
• 10.0 UVB bulb & fixture to suit
• Deep dome fixture & a white or clear bulb of sufficient wattage to give you the desired temps
• Non-particle substrate for BD less than 10" nose to tip of tail. This could be papertowel, newspaper, butchers paper, non-adhesive shelf liner, slate, textured ceramic tile, lino, repti-carpet, etc, the list goes on & on
• Sturdy basking area. This could be a branch, rock or something similar to allow your BD to get close enough to the UVB & Heat Bulbs
• Food Dish
• Digital thermometers with sensors\probes
• Phosphorous free Calcium
• Multi-vitamin such as Herptivite or Reptivite
• Misting Bottle
• A Rock - To help keep it's claws in check
• Kricket Keeper & Gutload
• Crickets, lotsa crickets
• Exotic Herp Vet's Phone #, Address, & $200+ spare cash always handy, in case an emergency visit to the Vet is required
• Bearded Dragon

This was my only question so far, because my friend was trying to explain it all, and I kept getting confused. I thought it would really help to have it all written out in front of me, so figured I'd ask. Don't worry-I'm reading those links. (I even busted out a pen and highlighter and am taking notes-writing stuff down helps me remember it)
