List of items for Camino with the price

If you are like me and you never hiked before or you have but you don't have equipment for a long hike here is a list of things that I'm thinking to bringing with me on Camino. 
I have done a research about prices of equipment for Camino for a total beginner. 

List of items for Camino with prices:

 

1. Bag ( 30 - 40l) .................................. 50 - 190$
2. Sleeping bag .................................... 20 - 50 $
3. Shoes for hiking .............................. 40 - 120$
4. Sandals ............................................ 30 - 120$
5. Water bottel ..................................... 2 - 10$
6. Swiss knife
7. Flashlight ......................................... 2 - 10$
8. Earplugs
9. Towel ............................................... 3 - 15$
10. Clothes
11. Toiletries
12. First aid kit
13. Waistpack
14. Camera .......................................... 500 - 2000$


All things can be found on eBay, Amazon. But I would recommend you to buy as many things from the store as possible. 
After I have roughly calculated you should need ~ 1200$ min to buy all.
I hope that this would help you with packing.  Buen Camino!
