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

Pauper is a very cheap way to play Magic, 60 card decks with commons only. Some of the top competitive decks only run about $30, and you can build fun decks up with 10 cent cards from your LGS.

For casual play, my favourite is still Commander though. You can definitely build commander decks on a budget (one of the ones I made run me $26) and the format is a lot of fun!

What do you expect from those games? Do you want to play magic or are you going for a free for all commander experience?
