I squat at home while I save up for a squat rack. This is probably your best bet for a cheap one (it's price has dropped 40 bucks, and free shipping with amazon prime).

I squat by basically powercleaning the bar up above me, and then I put it behind my head. Obviously, I have to squat at a lower percentage of my 1RM, but I try to make up with it with perfect form and more sets/reps. Afterwards, I'll walk to my bench, and sit on it, and roll the bar onto the rack.
You can also do a hack squat or lunges. Some also suggest a front squat, or a Zercher squat, although I don't do these ones.
My recent purchases... by recent I mean, to be delivered within the next week:
Bench: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MWCN24
Rack: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VLMOPM
Barbell set: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000Y9WTUQ
Bench is rated to 800lbs. Rack to 400. The reason for the rack was price point and easy adjusting until I can afford a sturdier one. Also, 400 on the rack should be plenty for a while. The "weight capacity" of the bar according to TroyBarbell is 600lbs, so I'm just going to buy more plates down the road as I can afford/need them.
None of the clients I'm going to be training with this equipment can squat more than 200lbs (only two can get that high) so I have no urgent need to have more weight. My own squat (due to back injury/leaving a gym with good equipment) has barely been tested in the past year, so 300 should be plenty to work back up to.
Total: $680.13.
I'll be purchasing some floor mats from a home depot in the area for cheap and some dumbbell handles later, but all of that will add up to probably another $200 total spread out over the next couple months. Can't complain.
Edit: Oh and I've had a pullup bar forever now so I neglected to mention it, but it was $30 back when I got it.
yes. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VLMOPM/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00

Thanks for responding, so I looked a little more, so I can get this rack with the fitness bench it suggests, and the barbell set and that would be a good start? I also looked at this power rack, but I don't need to be dealing with serious weight, as I'm just starting out, and going for muscular endurance.
I bought this recently from amazon for $116. It was delivered within a week for free as a prime member and only took 20 minutes to put together. I couldn't be happier with it. Though as the reviews say some people have a problem stepping over the support bar or moving a bench over it. I find it's not that big of a deal and that when I do squats I back right up to it, so I never/rarely have to worry about it.
I use a moveable bench for bench press and other exercises when not squatting. The bench is the same Best Fitness brand but not the one on amazon, I picked it up at my local Play It Again Sports, which is also where I found the cheapest 300lb set of olympic weights and bars.)
