Do I have to buy a set for 5.1 surround audio, or can I just buy 5 speakers and one subwoofer separately to potentially save money and link them to my AVR?

You can definitely just use any 5 speakers. But typically you would want at least the left, right, and center speaker to be from the same brand and even line to make the sound signature more cohesive. Good idea to have the surrounds from the same line too, but not necessary. And the sub could be from any decent manufacturer.
