Check list

From light your reptile I will get a 22" T-5 HO fixture that I can hang inside the tank. I will also be getting the Arcadia D3+T5 22" 24 watt 12% UVB bulb.

From LLLreptile I will be getting a 2 pack of zoomed 100 watt basking bulbs with a large lamp stand that is adjustable, temp gun, an extra large habba hut, and calcium without D3 and herptivite as a combo set.

I have an enclosure already and will be going to Lowe's and getting ceramic tile for the bedding. When I go to petsmart to get a bearded dragon I will be getting a rather large piece of wood that can be used as a basking area. I also need to pick up screens for a 55gal tank. I know I also need to get food but I am getting all this in stages right this second and need to know if I missed anything that yall think would come in handy.

The UVB light is a very good one. You won't need to mount it inside though. They are very powerful so you can put it over the top of the tank. It should be about 12'' above the basking spot (and mounted on the basking side) for optimal output. You may find that the 100w bulbs aren't powerful enough in a large tank like that. I use the 150w with an adjustable stand at about 19'' up to get a proper temp gradient but your mileage may vary so you'll need to test it out a bit. If you're planning on using dubia roaches it would make sense to get a colony started now as it takes a few months for the colony to get established and start producing new generations. You can get other bugs like phoenix worms later on and just order them as needed.

My wife has said no to roaches. She doesn't like that idea it will be phoenix worms and other little critters.
