Making Starter to Create 2 Packs in 1?!?

Sure, absolutley.

so going to buy some kits this week, and one of them calls for the same type of yeast. Can I make a starter and use half of the starter for each 5 gallon batch from the 1 pack of liquid WYeast French Saison yeast? This would save me a lot of money.

Also can I save and keep feeding a starter just like a sourdough starter? I’d love to keep yeast I buy going so I don’t have to spend $10+/- every batch

Easiest and cheapest way is to do a starter for one batch and harvest yeast from it to use in the second batch. If you do this you'll only be using about 1/4 of the harvested yeast and can save the remainder for future batches.
