This has got to be the best offer to be found for Microsoft Office. This is not the student edition or just a few programs. This is everything you could want for office productivity.

Programs Include:

Word 2007 - Create and share great looking papers and reports.
Excel 2007 - Versatile software tools help you organize, compile, and compare important school information.
PowerPoint 2007 - Make great school presentations fast with new formatting and graphics.
Outlook 2007 - Stay in touch with multiple email accounts, don't miss events by using your calendar, and synchronize/backup your cellphone contacts.
OneNote 2007 - Save precious time - and headaches - by managing all your notes and information in one easy-to-use and search software tool.
Groove 2007 - Share, store, and communicate project information on or off-line securely and easily.
Publisher 2007 - Save time and money by creating high-quality print and online publications for your clubs and organizations.
Access 2007 - Easy-to-use new database-management software tools to help you track, report, and share important information for class projects of your own business.
InfoPath 2007 - Easily create electronic forms to gather data for class or extracurricular projects.

Compared to over $300, this truly is The Ultimate Steal. So, you are asking: What is the catch? Valid question. To qualify for this *awesome* deal you must:

Be a current student.
Attend a school that is registered and approved.
Have an email address that ends in .edu.

That is it! No tax, no shipping. As soon as payment is processed you will be given the link to download your software. Want a hard copy? For just $13 more you can request a cd be sent to you.

I bought this and can say it is the real deal! This site is part of Microsoft and just one way Microsoft supports education.

Low Price & Eco-Friendly Textbooks

For the past two and a half years I have been paying anywhere from $100 to $200 for textbooks, per class! That is right! I just paid $200 for a textbook and another $100 for a workbook for just one class. And my school does NOT buy back books. This is a tremendous expense and one that should be addressed, but that is another post.

What would you say if I told you I found a way to pay much, much less than $200 for a textbook? You would be there, right? There is one little catch. I know, I know, but if you can handle it you will save a TON of money. And who does not want that?

First, an example. I bought the textbook Information Systems Today for just under $200 through my school. I am fairly certain I will not be using this book beyond this course, so that is $200 thrown out the window. For $89.67 I could have purchased a 180-day eTextbook subscription from CourseSmart. Yes, an eTextbook. These are available in two versions: online and download.

Since I take all of my classes online, an eTextbook would work out well for me. I would always have it available (as long as I had my laptop and internet access, for the online version), it would not take up space in my house (along with all of the other dust collecting texts), and it would save me money. In this instance it would be a $110.33 or 55% savings.

Unfortunately, I am almost through with my education and have paid full price these past two and a half years. Fortunately, you can learn from my mistakes. If you are in the digital age, then eTextbooks could be just what the professor ordered! Why not give them a try? Save a little money and a tree at the same time. Talk about your warm, fuzzy feelings!

Did you know well-known companies offer deals targeted specifically for students. You can do a search for student discounts or check out some of the offers listed below:

Apple will discount $100 off a computer, desktop or laptop. When you enter their store (click here) look to the middle left-hand side for the education store link. You will then be prompted to locate your school. Then ¡voila! you will be redirected to your education store. Additionally, during the past two summers Apple has included $200 towards an iPod™. Be sure to check out their refurbished and clearance deals while you are there.

Dell also offers student deals through their Dell University (click here) or you can go to dell.com and type in Student Discount in the search box at the top of the page. My college's discount is 7% all products offered through Dell.

For student discounts on software try studentdiscounts.com. I have not purchased anything from them as of this writing but have not found anything negative about them either. Check them out.

Next check out the Student Advantage Discount Card. They offer discounts at local, national, and online shops. Just like the popular discount cards offered at bookstores their card is $20 annually. If you make a qualified purchase within the first 30 days they will give you $10 cash back. They also offer a 30-day money back guarantee. Just click here to find out more.

Today more than ever we need to be mindful of every penny. There are more offers out there just waiting to be found. Remember to do your research before giving out any personal information. Check to see if a site accepts PayPal or Google Checkout. Both are secure methods for paying online.

Until next time...
