Nice job so far so you can't be that stupid after all hehe.
The non-super Walmart by me has a big bulb selection and has the spiral cfl's.
They are about $6 or $7 each. And the brand is 'Lights of America.' Don't go by the 'equals 85 watts!' You have to go by the actual watts used. As your plant gets bigger, you want to add bulbs optimally getting to using enough bulbs to equal 100 or so actual watts used.

You can use less tho but figure on eventually using (3) 35 watt bulbs. At least this I how I figure really, it is the amount of lumens you use but 100w per sq. foot is in the ballpark of what is best.

If you have enough cash for two bulbs, I would buy only one and use the remaining cash to buy a 3 gallon pot and then buying another bulb in two weeks. Your baby looks like it is ready to show 5 fingered leaves so that little cup is too small. You will be suprised how much root you will see whan you pop it out to transplant. Just transplant directly into the final size pot as going to a 1 gal pot and then trying to transplant that into a 3 gal size sucks trying to fill the dirt around the sides as there is not alot of room.

I got the same problem in my basement with temps too...not much you can do unless you can afford/build a better fan system. As cody said, although 88 is high, it is no biggie if you watch how much water they need/use. Figure in Mexico or Jamaica, it gets alot hotter than 88 in the sun so its all good.

Hope this makes sense hehe. Good job growing so far though! I am not familiar with Oasis but looks like strong Indica?
