I need a Set of poker chips

Ebay and/or Wal-Mart.

I'd recommend your first set to be "cheap" set of the metal insert chips (>$50 for 500). Notice I said FIRST set. Once you've played with those for a few months, you'll get the fever and will want a customized set.

If your interest in poker fizzles, you won't have wasted much money.

Faux clay are cheaper and better (IMO, of course) than the metal insert chips. Others say the same about Soprano Chips.

So, why would I get the cheepies with the inserts??

The main thing is to make your first set an inexpensive set of chips. (Faux clay, metal inserts, used, etc.)

You can get 500 chips for under $50 from a lot of places.

costco seems to be the place for first time chip buyers. 2 years ago i bought a set of 500 11.5g "suited" chips for $150ish CDN after shipping, it was a great deal at the time. Now you can go to Costco, get chips that are of about equal value for like 40 or 50 bucks, no shipping, etc.

i highly recommend a deck of copags as well, they are the most reasonable plastic card and cannot be beat for the money. www.cardsbycopag.com be sure to check em out.

There are plenty of 500 chips sets on eBay that you can get for the minimum bid of $15. Watch the shipping costs, though. One day the eBay folks will have to fix that little scam (but I digress).
