froogle.google.co.uk will give you the best price.

However, if you have kids of school age you should be able to buy the MS Office Educational Licence for the knock down price of about £90

Its usually around £400 for the basic pack.

You could try OpenOffice - functions with almost all MS Office documents and is free. Not used it myself but colleagues speak highly of it...

Big fan of it. I have installed it on all our work machines. Does 95% of office stuff, and I really like the fact you can export a word doc as a pdf easily.
