I'd put checking & adjusting brakes as #1 priority since it doesn't matter how much you spend on other components if you can't stop.
I'd also recommend that OP find a local bike store that sells used parts, or a co-op. Most I've been to have loads of used seats and pedals for a bargain price.
$80 is a bit much for pedals, and the flip flop pedals are a royal pain in the ass in my experience. Also, if op doesn't have SPD shoes, there's no reason to invest in them and there's no reason to invest even more in SPD shoes for a 3.5 mile commute. I've found the shimano flip flop pedals to be lacking in just about every way.
Personally, I'd recommend Race face Chester pedals if there aren't any good used options. $40 and you can ride them in any weather in any shoe.
These grips are a copy of the race face half nelson grips, for $10: I put a set on mtb to commuter build for a roommate and they're hard to tell apart from the real thing.
