I think it's great what you are doing for those kitties. A word of caution though.

$150 is an avg price (at least here) for all those tests/vaccines (assuming it's per cat, if all 3 combined then that's a great price). If that is a major strain on the finances you might want to rethink 'fostering' them if you already think you might fail fostering 101. If perchance one or more of them should have an illness requiring tests, special food, medicine etc then that $150 would look like a drop in the bucket in comparison.

Rescuing/fostering is great, but when your finances are strained to the point that it causes you not to be able to pay your bills, causes fights with the spouse, or makes you second guess taking your critter to the vet because of cost, then it's time to rethink how many pets you can really care for, whether permenant or temporary.

Just something to think about.
