Should not need new discs after 18K - there will be a lip because the area not swept by pads gets rusty and 'grows' to form a lip - you need to measure the the shiny area and I think it is 19mm min.

If you search discs  pads on forum you will get plenty of info about cheaper discs and pads that members have used.
Some people will only consider you an expert if they agree with your point of view or advice,  when you give them advice they don't like they consider you an idiot

My son-in-law, an experienced mechanic, just takes an old screwdriver and holds it a against the edge as he spins the hub. That removes the rusty build up.

I'm sure that if you Google 'minimum thickness of jazz disc's' that would give you your answer.

According to the on line manual, the maximum refinishing limit ( why cant they just say minimum) is 19mm.  Given they say the max thickness is 21 mm 2mm is not a lot to wear off.
Purely a personal experience, it might be worthwhile to remove the lip. I appreciate mass production is much more accurate but in the past I have experienced problems whereby the pad being slightly bigger than original, actually rides on the lip until it beds in affecting braking.

I used Honda Cox for my last discs/pads change. The parts were genuine Honda, but at greatly reduced prices.

As has been said,  the minimum thickness of the worn disc is 19mm, took our jazz 51,000 miles to get to that, i replaced them with Brembo discs and Pagid pads from Eurocarparts,  with there discount code total was around £70 for the lot, the setup works very well
