HI! I like your initiative!
Wheel bearings do not need to be replaced in pairs. However, it's not bad idea to check the second side since you already have to tools out.
When looking at parts online, you will generally find them cheaper online than at your local parts store because they don't have to pay for as many buildings or employees. Generally, you will have to wait longer for your parts to arrive and they will be more difficult to warranty them out or exchange them if the wrong part arrives. So, you need to balance the pros and cons.
I am also including the remove and replace procedures. If you don't have a torque wrench maybe borrow your son's for the reassembly. The right torque is important. Good luck! Let us know how it turns out!
This is the install:
