Rotors seldom actually warp, they more than likely just have buildup from the pads and/or rough spots on the surface. Take it to a good brake shop and they can probably clean or turn the rotors.
Had the same thing happen to me a while back. Got dirt in the radial slot in one of the pads and the dirt chewed up about half of the braking surface on one side of the rotor. It sure felt like the rotor was warped, but it wasn't.

Don't cheap out on brakes (or other critical components). Save up and get the good stuff. It's a sick feeling when your brakes fail (or fade bad enough that you think they have failed).
