A small sponge filter with an air pump. You'll need air tubing but that's cheap too. A small valve can be useful to control the amout of airflow and make less water flow if the pump is too strong. I've used this heater in both 5g and 10g tanks.
If you haven't already, read a guide on cycling your tank so you know how to get it all set up and safe for the fish. If you have the fish in a small bowl or something right now you will want to read up on a "fish-in cycle".
Boom, and boom, plus youll need this. Feed the hose through maybe some rubber or something and use the rubber to seal the tube into your piece. Cheaper and quieter than an air compressor. This might not work for bigger pieces though.
So, would these be alright purchases?

He's a snow white lobster. I already have sand in his fishbowl right now, which is actually making it kind of difficult to see him as he's white/clearish. I just went to go check on him and he's just lying under some fake vegetation attached to the castle.
Ha, love the name idea!
I'm not sure if you have read around and are aware of the proper care for a betta (if you have then ignore me) but if you haven't I'll go ahead and say a two gallon bowl isn't the best place for him, and is also another reason for the downvotes. He can live in it but he's not going to thrive. He does need a heater and a filter, if you have those then that is awesome, if not you can even get them as a broke college student.
If I can tell you one thing I'm positively sure of, there is always room for a fish tank. ;)
I'm just going to link you a cheap list of good stuff for little moneys:
Sponge Filter
Air Pump
Airline Tubing I bet you can find this in stores for less. Also less as an add on item.
Check Valve Most likely less at a store.
Heater, Heater 2 Costs a good bit more but I really love these.
Tank, Tank 2 There are many other options to look at.
If you go with the cheapest it will run you just about $58 with prime.
Hope the list gives you something to think about. If you've got any questions at all I'd be more than happy to answer them if I can.
Edit* Added a link.
Take it a step further, get a super cheap aquarium airpump and airstone, drop it in the bowl of water and turn it on low. all the tiny bubbles popping on the surface will definitely raise the humidity and if you get an adjustable pump, you will be able to increase and decrease at will. Something like this:

The 400 is adjustable and costs $10. Tubing and an airstone should be another $10 or less.
I think goldfish are super-tolerant of almost any water environment tanks can throw at them. But to me, adding a bubbler will cost you about $10. If that prevents a few dead fish, it will really pay off. That dissolved oxygen helps the fish breathe. Obviously when fish die, they start giving off ammonia very quickly and that can throw the pH balance of your water off fast and start hurting your plants.
The bubbler is a small air pump attached to air tubing attached to a stone. This little pump will cost you $6, plus a few more for stones and tubing. It could result in happier fish.
The alternative to adding it now is to wait and see how the fish do when they get dropped in. If you see them surfacing the water and gulping in air, they definitely need more dissolved oxygen in their water.
SPONGE FILTER!! !!
You'll need an air pump, air line, a thing to adjust the airflow with, and a check valve. [This one] (https://www.amazon.com/JW-Pet-Company-Fusion-Aquarium/dp/B0018CFMUW/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1494366457&sr=8-11&keywords=air+pump+aquarium) works really great! Plus, they're better for betta's fins. There's no getting stuck in these.
Get a fish aquarium pump and some hose.
I'm very happy with my sponge filter! Here's my set-up:
Oh so cute. Well all you need is a 5-10 gallon tank. There is a sale going on now with either petsmart or petco where you can get $1 per gallon. After that you need a filter. If you get a 5 or 10 gallon tank you can get a nice hang of the back filter for cheap. I got this one for my betta when I was holding him in a 2.5 gallon before putting him in a bigger tank. It needs an air pump to work though I got a cheapo and it works great and is almost unnoticeable.. Spend a little more on a heater though because I got a cheap betta heater and it broke somehow and the heater itself started melting and I thougth it was going to explode. The one I use now is hyador.
I also got him that leaf hammock for him to sleep on. For food I bought frozen blood worms of the hikari brand. This will last a long long time it comes with a bunch of frozen cubes each cube has like a hundred worms. So I cut up the cube and keep a portion in a medicine cup. I add tank water to the medicine cup and the portion melts and i use a pippete to feed the worms. And you feed it to him 1 - 3 times a week. The rest I got pellets. The brand was omega something in a blue container. I drop those pellets in a small medicine cup squirt with water let em soak for a minute then drop them in his tank.
Also !! You need a water conditioner I use seachem prime. It makes tap water safe for your fish, normally it has chlorine and other chemicals to make it safe for humans but those chemicals will hurt fish. Prime helps make it safe for fish to breathe and prime has a slime coat bonus.
I think an estimate on how much you will spend for him is around 60-70$ and he will last a while with clean water, good food, and good maintenance.
To make feeding and dosing prime easier. Get a cheap plastic pipette and glass dropper. I tend to spill things when measuring by the cap so the glass dropper is easier to dose prime. The plastic pipette is used to soak and feed the pellets and blood worms.
