How much does all the stuff for a leopard gecko cost?

You're better off going to an independent reptile retailer - rather than a general pet-shop like Petland. The staff at Petland may not know enough specialist information about reptiles - since they have to know something about every animal they sell. An independent reptile retailer will be able to give you more specialised knowledge about specific species.

Additionally - before buying any reptile, you as a potential owner, owe it to the animal to research as much as you can on the species before you get it ! You are the one who will be caring for it, and it's no good just sticking it in a plastic tank with a couple of bugs and some water - then expect it to survive - it won't ! Temperature, lighting, heating, food, vitamins all play a part in the successful rearing of reptiles - and it's no good waiting until something goes wrong before researching the animal !

Twenty-five years of successful keeping & breeding reptiles has provided me with a steady income - and I'm glad I did my research on each animal before acquiring them !

Can a leaperd gecko be put in with a albino gecko?

Yes, both are the same species but may be different morphs. Leopard geckos have been in the reptile hobby going through selective breeding for a very long time. With selective breeding, some genetics are dominant and others are recessive. Dominant traits are traits that only one parent needs to exhibit and recessive are traits that both mother and father must carry in order for the babies to show these genetic. Some of these genes may not always be physically present but are in their bloodline. Thus, a lot of breeders would like the seller to define their specific bloodlines in order to try and predict what the babies may turn out like. Albino comes in three different recessive strains: Bell, Tremper, Rainwater. Each of these names derive from the last name of the person who discovered the trait.
