This is one of the "mounts" that the radiator sits on. I believe they are called bushings, since they look like one but when I try to look up on autozone's or o'reily's websites for them it says they can't find the item.
What are these called?

I believe it's called a lower radiator support, but can't confirm it. I'm pretty sure that's going to be a dealer only item.

lol well im trying to avoid that because I work through the week and the weekends are the days where the local yards are packed, or at least the decent ones.
You're avoiding yards because they're packed? I would go to the dealer and get a price, doubt it would be much.
If not get up early saturday and head out, will pop out easy obviously and you're out.

In a pinch, you can stuff a rag in the hole, and with a little creativity, you can make sit at the correct height. My stepson, somehow, lost one of his, and that's how we fixed it. (Cause he was too cheap to by the f-ing thing.)
LOL...now that's cheap 
Keep something in mind about the radiator supports, they are made out of rubber for a reason and it's not shock isolation. If you get even a small electric current, the coolant acts as an electrolyte and turns the rad into a sacrificial anode.

Just so you know, it was a plastic capped radiator, so using the rag posed no issues. (Except for aesthetics).

so rubber when you are making your own rad supports?
A lot of aftermarket stock rads have plastic tanks...OEM is metal.
Rubber needs to be between the support and the car's frame to prevent grounding....through bolts on the support to the rad will provide a ground path.
