You could always get a department store set like Knight golf for like $200 if you just want to get a set to play around with. I actually got a used set of irons at Play It Again Sports, got a new bag from my g/f for a gift (get a double strap, stand bag if you can), and acumulated woods individually on sale that felt good to me. I have always liked the idea of buying some frequently used clubs (like pitching wedge and putter) separately to get a little bit nicer one that you really feel comfortable with. Don't blow all your dough on a Great Big Bertha that you'll use four times a round, when you can shave off five strokes with a pitching wedge that feels good to you or a putter that lets you feel good about those middle distance birdie putts.
I also plan to get a few lessons before the season gets going to get some good habits going as well.
