A local mom & pop store this might run about
$15-$20 for a 10gal tank
$20-$30 for hood & lights
$15-$25 for a heater
$3-$5 for a thermometer
$3-$5 for a net
So even PetSmart's regular price of $65 will likely be cheaper than most if not all mom & pop shops.
Each one of the starter kits is a unbeatable deal but the 5.5 gallon limits what fish you can add and doesn't come with a heater so I'd really recommend buying a 10 gallon minimum and if you have the space and budget, get a 20 gallon or larger, I mean the 55 gallon kit is only $100 but might weigh over 600 pounds when filled with water, rocks/substrate, decorations, etc so you need to buy a stand or something that can support the weight. A 10 gallon or 20 gallon can go on lots of counters, tables, end tables, dressers, etc...that can support 100-200 pounds or so of weight.

And again, I still say that if you need a whole kit of everything you need at once, you'll likely find some GREAT deals on Craigslist. While there are plenty of people charging crazy high prices, if you're patient, you can often find crazy great deals there. Sometimes even a whole setup for free! Every single aquarium I've ever bought has been from Craigslist.
