If you do nothing else, get the ear plugs first! Hear-Os are good, but you can also find foam ear plugs at drugstores and/or hardware stores.
As for the metronomes, I have seen inexpensive "travel" metronomes in the $15-$25 range...but your drum store (or DrumBum.com) can help you get a good quality metronome for not too much more than that!)
Welcome aboard, robvam...
