Arrow What next

So... while I was buying stuff for an oil change today I decided to do a cheap mini tune up while I was at it. So here's what I've done:
Cleaned MAF
Oil change and filter
Fuel filter
PCV valve
my question is money is really tight right now, but I just bought this truck so I'm trying to do a complete tune up one step at a time, so what should I do next when I save some money again? truck has 80k so I'm assuming I should save up for a set of global auto cops, do I need to do O2's or EGR? thanks for the help guys
Sidenote: all plugs were changed at 75,000 when I blew one out

Don't do anything unless you start getting a CEL or it starts running bad. You have done what is usually needed already. Might not hurt to do a seafoam treatment, a couple cans of that stuff is cheap.

I would take the throttle body off and clean the EGR ports along with the EGR too.
