Default Squeaks

So my car has decided to squeak quite loudly now after it rains, and since it is nearly time to buy an ark here in Texas I'm thinking I need to remedy it. I think the noise is coming from a pulley but I'm not sure which one. Do they make aftermarket pulleys to replace each of the stock ones? If so, do you recommend changing them all? Any advice in this area would be helpful and much appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

Maybe its just a belt. Trying replacing a 30$ belt before you replace 100$ worth of pulleys

Same problem here, check your idler pulley. Also does it when the engine is cold.
