Hi Amanda there is a cheap way to safety observe the Sun with minimal equipment by using the projection method. This is where the image of the Sun is projected onto a white card or screen. Aiming for the Sun is fairly straight forward by placing a minimal telescope shadow on the screen to align it with the Sun.
NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN AS IT CAN CAUSE PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE WITHOUT APPROPRIATE FILTRATION. DARK FILTERS ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
