You don't need fluid if you are replacing the rotors.

even if you replaced all the fluid in the system it would probably be less than a quart, good fluid like Castrol GT LMA is about $5 a quart or $2.75 per pint bottle (better way to buy it if you're not using a lot at one time).

Unless you are removing a brake line or doing caliper work, you do not need to bleed the brake system. If you do need to, it's around $5 for large bottle of Valvoline Dot3/4 Synthetic brake fluid, enough to flush the entire system.
