How to Get Microsoft Office at a Discounted Price

You might have just started school or maybe you just started a brand new job and you need to find yourself a licensed Office. There are free solutions out there, but the problem with those solutions is if you grab someone else’s file and start editing it, it might look a little weird. When you save it and give it back to that person, it looks completely weird when they open it up back in that Office native application.

Unfortunately, the free solutions are great, but they’re not so great when you go to share them. That’s where Office is pretty awesome because, of course, it’s going to work great. As you may have already found out, Office is expensive, but I have the perfect solution for you here on stacksocial.com.

Why Choose stackSocial.com?

So, let’s check it out real quick: sstacksocial.com/This-Dash-Bytes-Dash-Four-Dash-You. Right when you come in, they’ll give you 15% off your order. Don’t fall for this one just yet; there’s a better one. The better one is if you use promo code TBFY20 at checkout, you get 20% off. Obviously, I’ve been doing a little work with stackSocial. I’ve been trying to get them to give you bigger and better solutions working out the best for you. Start your academic year right, just as I mentioned, but you only get 15% off. Use my coupon code again for 20% off.

Exploring Microsoft Office Options

So, scrolling down, we can see Microsoft Office 2021 Home and Student for Mac, Home and Business, and even 2019 copies. There are also copies of Windows 10 Professional. You get 20% off of that $114.99 price. If you don’t see what you like here, you can always come up to the top and go to Office 365. For those of you that don’t want to make the full commitment at first, while 150 bucks 120 bucks, or 200 bucks isn’t cheap, I totally get it. The trial versions help you understand which version you may like better, but I already know what I like. Let me show you what’s in here anyway.

Then we have Office 365 Enterprise for 10 bucks a month, 365 Business for 22, and so on. We have so many different versions; these are all monthly or yearly subscriptions. I know what I like already; I want Office 2021, and I want professional. Now, before I go on further, let me go ahead and log in real quick.

After we’re logged in, we’ll go back to Microsoft Office 2021, and we’ll go to Professional. Here, we can see Office 2021 Professional Plus. That’s a lot of money, 590 bucks, but then we have Office 2021 Professional for 330 bucks. 330 is still not cheap, but it’s cheaper than 600. And then we also get that 20% discount. It comes with Word, Excel, Outlook, Publisher, Access, and PowerPoint. So, I don’t need to add it to the cart, but you can if you want to keep shopping. But I want to buy it now.

Applying the Discount Code

Now, we can always use their back-to-school discount, but that’s only 15%, so we’ll hit cancel here and then we’ll hit TBFY20 here and click apply. Bam! It drops to 20%. That’s beautiful. Also, if you’re strapped for cash, maybe you don’t have a credit card or a PayPal account, you can always use Klarna. Kind of like a credit card, Klarna allows you to break up your payments into multiple different payments. But anyway, I’m going to use PayPal, so let’s check that out. And then when we’re done, we know this is what we want, and we’ll go ahead and click PayPal. That’s the method I’m choosing at least.

Completing the Purchase

After clicking PayPal or whatever payment method you have, make sure you have selected what you want here and then click Complete Purchase. This is very cool. On most websites, when you go to buy it, they’ll tell you they’ll send it to you within a day or two or three. This gives you 30 minutes, and typically you’ll have it before those 30 minutes, but they give themselves their own countdown. That’s pretty awesome. So, in the meantime, we’re going to go ahead to my email address. Here we can see the PayPal receipt. Even though it said 30 minutes, I keep refreshing just to make sure it doesn’t get there a little early.

You can see here 330 dollars at stackSocial without the coupon is 430 dollars. Buying it directly from Microsoft is $440. That’s not cheap. But anyway, coming back over here, we can see stackSocial emails and we have about 22 minutes left, so that’s beautiful. Or 12 minutes left, sorry. We’ll go over to the top one, and then here they tell you what you’ve purchased, how much you’ve saved, 264 dollars. That’s pretty cheap, and then you could print it if you’d like to.

Okay, then coming out of here, on the second email here, they send you the key and then also where you can download it from. So, we’ll click on this link, then I’ll go ahead and sign in or create a brand new account. I’m going to use my email, and then I’ll enter that key here. I’ll enter the region, then I’ll click next, and then get your app. So, click confirm. There we go, Office Professional Plus 2021 has been added to your account. So, then we can click install here, install here, and then we’ll run the office setup.exe file that it downloads for us. I’ll go ahead and minimize this. So far, it’s pretty quick and easy, right?

Okay, we’re all set. Office is installed now, so we’ll just click close here, and then we can click on the start button. Recommended already, we have Word, we have PowerPoint, and we’ll click on all apps. Then we have Access over here, to Excel, your office tools, Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, OneNote, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Publisher. Your entire solution is right here. And then you know you need to write up a paper real quick. Okay, welcome to Office. Continue, then we’ll activate the copy of the Office we just bought. We’ll send a sign-in request to your phone. One sec, use this account everywhere. Next, accept the EULA, and then there you go, you’re typing up.
