This is the best Microsoft Office Prime Day deal we’ve found

We’re always on the lookout for great deals, especially during mega-events such as Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day. This year, in the marketing equivalent of pulling a second rabbit out of a hat, Amazon is running a second Prime Day event. The first Prime Day 2022 was in July and the newbie, which ends tonight, is officially the Prime Early Access Sale. We’re calling it Prime Day October 2022, but whatever the name, we’re elated to find tons of excellent Prime Day deals. Most people associate Prime Day with bargains on electronics and devices, but you can find software deals as well. We were surprised and pleased to find this incredible deal for a Microsoft 365 Family subscription. Normally a subscription to the family-pack version of Microsoft’s productivity apps costs $150, but for Prime Day October 2022 Amazon slashed the price to $93 — a $57 or 38% discount — and also includes a $50 Amazon gift card, so .

We track the best Microsoft Office deals regularly to find the best sales and this October Prime Day deal for the Microsoft 365 Family subscription is outstanding and the best we’ve found. Since Microsoft 365 includes a collection of productivity apps that varies with the type of subscription, it’s important to list the app and services this deal includes. In addition to Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, the Microsoft 365 Family package includes 1 terabyte of OneDrive cloud storage, the Microsoft Editor writing assistant, and Microsoft Safety. You can use the Microsoft Safety app to set filters, limits, and permissions for family members as well as family member location and driving safety alerts.

Up to six family members can share the Microsoft 365 Family subscription. At the end of your 12-month subscription it will automatically renew at the then-current price (currently $150 per 12 months). You and your family members aren’t restricted to using the same operating system or identical devices because the download version of Microsoft 365 is available for PCs, Macs, iPad, iPhones, and Android mobile devices.

If you’ve been less than happy about spending big bucks on productivity software for your whole family or tired of sharing your own subscription, this Prime Day October 2022 deal is an economical solution. For a final effective price of $43, you and five other family members can share a subscription to Microsoft Office 365 at less than one-third the normal $150 subscription cost. Pay $94 to activate your subscription today and Amazon will give you a $50 Amazon gift card to splurge on home office supplies or anything you desire. You’ll save $102 overall with the gift card, but even if you don’t use the gift card, six Microsoft 365 licenses for just $93 is an excellent deal.

HP 14-inch laptop -- $150, was $200

The HP 14-inch laptop is a fairly basic laptop that still manages to run Windows 11. It does so in S Mode and it's not exactly going to be speedy, but if a Windows laptop is essential and your budget is low, it'll suffice. It has an Intel Celeron processor, 4GB of memory, and 64GB of eMMC storage. Because of such hardware, count on saving a lot of your files to the cloud or using cloud-based apps. The 14-inch HD screen with micro-edge bezels and BrightView technology helps it look a bit better at least, while there's up to 11 hours of battery life.
