Are you sure the tire was inflated to the proper pressure, as written on the side of the tire? I doubt you're too heavy for a standard tire, especially 32c.
Besides flats happen to everybody from time to time, that's something you just have to accept as a cyclist. And 200$ is more than plenty, you can get good tires for 1/10 of that.
edited to add: if I were you, I would buy a decent floor pump with pressure gauge first, replace the tube or patch it up and continue for now. If flat tires happen frequently, I would then think about getting bigger tires.
