Seems pretty reasonable. Its the parts that can get expensive when dealing with drums.

And by the time rear shoes have worn down it isn't a bad idea to replace other components such as hydraulic cylinders and perhaps even the rear sections of handbrake cable. All these things deteriorate over time and it is often far cheaper overall to do the lot all in one go.
