You can afford a grow light. CFL's can be used effectively for growing, you just have to keep them close and in a reflector. Just ask anyone at /r/microgrowery. I grew some Purple Queen (I know that sounds like pot but it's totally not!) and Pratt's Black Brass Buttons plants over the winter on a few cfl's just to have something to tend to and they grew like weeds. For starting seeds a few of these cheapy lights would get you set straight. They ought to be about a foot or foot and a half above your seed trays.
It'll be more effective than you think and you'll have useful 'grow lights' for chump change.
Edit: You'd probably want a 10" or 12" brooder light as opposed to the 8.5" I linked
These, yes. These, no.
CFL = OK
INCANDESCENT = NOT OK
