What type of light bulbs to buy for a homemade lighting kit?

I am a poor college student, I can’t afford a lighting kit at the moment, so spare the advice about splurging on real equipment!

I bought some hardware clamp lights from home depot that I plan on using to light my subjects. I took plain, household light bulbs out of my sockets and they 1. aren’t bright enough and 2. give off a tint, even when I change with the white balance.

What type of bulbs should I purchase? I need something bright, white and cheap!
