I think you'll be about as well served (for "free") with old oem shocks as you will be by cheap new shocks. In other words, buy quality now or wait for another time. Keep your driving sedate if you wait.
Haste makes waste, and prices are all over the map. You need to ask whether you're being quoted for each shock or for the pair.
At partsgeek, Bilsteins are $78-$79 each and Sachs are $81 each. Make note of part numbers and use search engines. Buy quality and don't overpay.
Noel is right that you may need to replace the bushings at the ends of the rear sway bar. If the two lower bolts are too rusted to be re-used they cost about $10 each.
