how can I get microsoft office cheaper

[Not happy]

Money! money! money! I'm not to happy with Microsoft but there isn't any
viable option available and I don't like the way they charge sooooooooooo
much money for products that are not complete..... most of the time! However
I need Office but am not prepared to pay hundreds of pounds for it. Cheaper
but NOT ILEGAL!

Tsk, tsk, Carey. You should know that OEM Office can only be sold
preinstalled on a system, not as a standalone product. The OP specified not
illegal.

You can try to see what's available on eBay but you need to be careful about
who you buy from and whether or not it's legal. Is there a reason you need
MS Office? Perhaps one of the other similar suites would do?
