where do you fish? that's probably the most important thing to base what plugs to buy on.

I wouldn't get to fussy with color and matching baitfish when building a collection if I were you, thats stuff you can add later. Been there, done that and now pretty much all I fish are white (day and bright nights), yellow (day and medium to bright nights), medium (something like herring or olive over white), and black or blurple (dark nights). You could easily get away with only white, yellow and black IMO.

As far as plugs, some slow sinking needles (Gibbs, Mr. Wiggley) and some medium sinkers (Habs, Afterhours, Superstrike), bombers and redfins (if its not too rough, these maybe all you need most nights), a couple superstrike 2 3/8 oz poppers, a pencil popper or two (brand will depend on budget) and maybe a spook (I really like Surf Asylum's spooks). Tough to get a good wood swimmer on a budget IMO, if you want to spend the money (and you can find them) the hab's mullet and beachmaster junior are awsome as is anything by RM Smith.
