Now that coupons have gone high-tech, here are ways to save.

If you have the Internet on your cell phone, you can go with a company like Cellfire.com, which sends deals specific to your location. Download the service and type in your zip code. A car-rental double upgrade, free chili-cheese dog, or 20 percent off at a retailer are yours.

Be aware that deals change depending on location. Let cellfire. com know where you are going, and you'll find a slew of new deals.

If you don't have Internet on your phone but are adept at text messaging, try a service like text2store.com. You can specify what kinds of coupons are sent to you. Sign up, enter "denim" on the site, and you'll get a text telling you where jeans are on sale.

You realize you haven't gotten a gift for your friend's birthday today. No fear. You can pull up a coupon on your phone from a retailer like 1-800-FLOWERS and with the press of a button be connected to a representative who will save your bacon via same-day delivery — all this, at a discount.

Before you delve into the pool that is online shopping, poke around. Sites like couponchief. com and dealcatcher.com gather and post all sorts of savings from all sorts of stores.

While many services are free, you may incur some costs. Make sure you aren't being charged for Internet minutes. If you pay per text, be careful with that.
