Doing it yourself...or paying someone? Keep in mind a lot of garages won't installed parts supplied by a customer.
Looking at prices on Rockauto.com...
Front rear pads (middle grade) about $20 for front and $20 for rear
Rotors (middle grade) about $50 for the front and $40ish for the rear.
So full job front and rear NEW rotors plus pads about $250 in parts if you did it yourself. There are cheaper parts, there are more expensive parts.
If you go to a shop, it's usually about $200-400 per axle, so a full job could be anywhere from $400-800 depending on if the shop resurfaces or replaces the rotors.
Most recently when I had that done on my Volvo it was around $650 for all 4 pads/rotors. On my VW I paid around $450 for front, $450 for back last time (back wears out twice as fast as front on my VW).

Check your math. Materials is about $130 if you did it your self. You will get a pair when you order them.

I meant to say that was price for each rotor for middle tier.
So $100 front, $80 rear for the pair of rotors. Plus $40ish in pads for front and rear. Throw in some caliper lube, brake cleaner and other misc items and about $250ish for non-bottom tier parts
You shouldn't need to do the rears yet... Unless you rack up miles really fast.
Anyway, when I had my '08, I used to buy sets of pads for about $30/axle. If the rotors looked good (more often than not, they did) I kept them. If they looked rough, I got them machined. A machine shop can do this for maybe $10...
Total, at most $50/axle.
