I'm looking to play casually (in person) with some friends and we were wondering what the cheapest format to start buying for would be? And what might be some good pick ups (we have the starter decks but want some more variety) thanks

The cheapest format that is somewhat widely played is Pauper. All cards that have been printed as common once are legal, most competitive decks are sub 100€/$. Casual even cheaper! I like it a lot, the card pool is deep and the meta somewhat balanced, except for affinity maybe.
