Those things are dirt cheap. A Postgres container on my machine uses 200MB of memory. Redis is nearly free. It's a small price to pay to not have services cross paths with each other and mucking everything up.
Postgres can use less RAM than Redis, depending on how much you're putting in Redis. I've got ~150MB database sitting in a Postgres container that's hovering around 13-25MB memory.
Also you don't need a separate container for each of them. Why not run one and have multiple databases in there?
