You can get standard comoddity slides, coverslips, etc from the usual online retailers with the usual caveats of you get what you pay for and sometimes that's just a name. That said, when you need the extra performance more accurately ground slides and coverslips may be desired. Cargille seems to be the defacto manufacturer of immersion oil, a small bottle goes a long ways.
Mountant and chemical availability seems to vary by location as some are restricted, but thus far I haven't had much trouble locating the materials I have needed. I would suggest slides, coverslips, and a pipette/dropper to start with and acquire other items as needed.
Even when the budget for materials is nearly zero, there's usually a way to use the instrument for those creative enough to seek out alternatives.
