AutoCAD LT is a great package for 2D CAD…but with its relatively high price, finding the lowest price can be a big help.

Currently, the lowest price for this software is at Amazon:
Click here for AutoCAD LT 2010 at Amazon for $999.99

If you’re upgrading, there are two paths you can take depending on your current version:

1) For upgrades from AutoCAD LT 2007-2009, you can buy the regular Upgrade package:
Click here for AutoCAD LT 2010 Upgrade from 2007-2009 for $575.00

2) If you’re upgrading from a “legacy” version (2000-2006), you can purchase the full AutoCAD LT 2010 software above and then use the $400 Legacy Upgrade rebate listed on Amazon’s site.

Jan 25 update: The $45 promo discount is still applied automatically when you proceed through the shopping cart, even though the offer is no longer promoted as clearly on Amazon’s site.

__________________________________________________________________

For the past couple of weeks, Amazon.com has been offering an additional $25 discount on Quicken 2008 Deluxe if you purchase it together with any version of TurboTax. But now they have increased that discount to $45!

You can see the promo details on the product page for Quicken 2008 Deluxe:
Click here to see Quicken 2008 Deluxe at Amazon.com

Or you can just get TurboTax by itself:
Click here to see the TurboTax 2007 line-up at Amazon.com
(TurboTax Deluxe for $39.99, Premier for $68.99, etc.)

Anyway… If, for example, you’re interested in Quicken 2008 Deluxe and TurboTax Deluxe Federal + State 2007, then you can click the “Buy both now!” button on that page to put both of them in your shopping cart:

When you proceed through the checkout, the $45 discount will be shown in the final order review page just as in the image near the top of this page.

That’s $47.48 for both TurboTax Deluxe 2007 and Quicken 2008 Deluxe! The MSRP of both products together is $104.90, so this is a savings of over $57 (55% off). You won’t find a better deal than that anywhere right now…

May 25 update: Until May 31, Amazon’s price of Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 has been dropped to just $97.99 ! Click the link below to go the product detail page.

________________________________________________

Along with the recent Windows Vista release, Microsoft also released the latest versions of Microsoft Office. Besides the technical improvements in the programs, they made some licensing changes as well…and that allows many home users to spend less to put MS Office on their computers.

Here are some of the benefits of the new version:

• “Microsoft Office Student and Teacher 2003″ has been replaced by “Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007″. This means that all non-commercial home users can use it, not just K-12 students and teachers.
• Includes 2007 versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote.
• License allows installation on up to 3 PCs in your home.

There’s one change that may be a drawback for some people: Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 does not include Outlook. To get Outlook, you would have to buy Outlook by itself, or with other versions of Microsoft Office such as Office Basic 2007 (includes Word, Excel, Outlook) or Office Standard 2007 (includes Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint). But with many people using e-mail services such as Hotmail or Gmail, that may not be an issue for a lot of people anyway.

So if you’re ready to purchase Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007, then of course you’ll want to find a good deal on the program. And the best online price right now seems to be at Amazon.com:

Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 - $109.99 at Amazon.com
(Save $39)

Also with this price, there is Free Shipping and for most states there is no sales tax. Amazon has good prices on the other versions of Microsoft Office as well, if you’re interested in something other than Microsoft Office Home and Student. Click the link below for more details.

Apr 4 update: The prices of both version of QuickBooks Payroll has gone back up on Amazon’s site. But keep an eye on the item, as it may drop again soon.

---

In addition to the $20 and $50 coupons for QuickBooks, Amazon also has QuickBooks Payroll available for a deep discount right now.

QuickBooks Standard Payroll 2007 — $89.99 (55% off)

Quickbooks Enhanced Payroll 2007 — $169.99 (43% off)

These are the lowest prices they’ve had for a while, so if you need the payroll add-on to Quickbooks now is a good time to get it.

(Related deal: $20 coupon for Quickbooks Pro 2007 )

Amazon has a couple of good discounts on TurboTax right now:

TurboTax Business 2006 Corporations and Partnerships
— $67.99 ($32 off) at Amazon.com

TurboTax Federal + State Home and Business 2006
— $62.99 ($27 off) at Amazon.com

They’re sold at these prices directly by Amazon.com, so there’s free shipping and for most states there’s no sales tax.

If you’re willing to go a step further, you can possible save even more. On each of the product pages, you’ll see on the right hand side under the Add to Shopping Cart button it says: “More Buying Choices“. If you click that link, you’ll see the listings of third-party sellers that are also offering the software. It’s a bit like buying “Buy It Now” items from eBay (different sellers have different prices, most operate out of their homes, each one has their own rating, some are better than the others, etc.), but the whole checkout and payment process is done through Amazon.

The benefit of buying through third-party sellers is that the prices are lower. For example, currently the lowest price for TurboTax Business is $49.90 + $3.49 shipping; and for TurboTax Federal + State Home & Business it’s $50.00 + $3.49 shipping. So by buying from third-party sellers on Amazon, you can save a bit more than Amazon’s discounted prices. Just one thing to watch out for, though: in some cases, the sellers are selling CD only without the retail packaging…those might not be fully legitimate copies that they have. So just watch out for that kind of stuff if you’re considering the third-party sellers.
