Damaged Tire - Replacement Question

I discovered that one of my rear tires has a large bubble on the sidewall that extends into the tread area. I know that this tire needs to be replaced but my question is about the other rear tire.

The other rear is not damaged and has about 50% tread left. Should I go ahead and replace both rears so they match or just replace the damaged one? This is basically a question of money at this point.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks.
