HP just announced a new printer that prints directly from the Internet. It's like an iPhone interface met a piece of office equipment, fell in love, got married and flipped off the matchmaker (in this case, the computer).

It's being billed as the world's first Web-connected computer. There are a lot of great wireless features like movie tickets from Fandango and photos printed directly from online sites, but the one HP executives were practically giddy about is the ability to print coupons directly from Coupons.com.

Warehouse clubs have introduced millions to low prices via buying in bulk, but applying the power of the group is now getting discounts on everything from restaurants to sporting events.

I stumbled upon Groupon fairly recently. One of those "heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend" kind of things. I don't usually go for coupons, too many hoops to jump through, but one buy and I was hooked.

The day of reckoning is close; come June 12th the analog airwaves will no longer be graced with the witty banter of sitcoms, daytime soaps evening news shows.

Instead stations nationwide will finally make the long talked about, and oft delayed, switch to digital television. If you haven't already taken the steps to make sure you don't see static next Friday, you better get moving.

A quick reminder: If you get your television from a cable or satellite operator or your existing TV has a digital tuner, you won't need a converter box and can return to your regularly scheduled programming.

To find out what consumers who aren't ready should do in the next week, WalletPop spoke to Nick DeVita, a manager at a Best Buy store in New York.

One of the most common questions he has heard from customers, aside from "Why?" is, "What's the difference in the converter boxes?"

Online coupons are one of my favorite money-saving tools because they're readily accessible to anyone with a computer and a printer. You don't have to worry about saving and storing coupon inserts -- just print or load and go.

So where do you find the best printable coupons online?

1) Coupons.com is one of my favorite resources. This month you can find a variety of $1 off Kellogg's cereal coupons, as well as $3 off Huggies Pure & Natural Diapers, $2 off Dry Idea deodorant, and $1.50 off two boxes of Kashi cereal.

Even though digital coupons are quickly gaining traction, many stores just aren't prepared to accept a coupon that they can't tuck away in their cash register, making on-demand printable coupons a good alternative. To meet the demand for printable coupons RetailMeNot, a popular online coupon search site, has launched RetailMeNot Printable which provides a searchable index of 90,000 local and national coupons for grocery items, restaurants and other small businesses.

Most of the local coupons are the same ones offered by popular coupon distributors like Valpak, Redplum and Money Mailer, which are already available online, but now you can search all of them at once. As always, the bigger your city is the more likely you will be to benefit from the service, since there will be more participating retailers.

Coupon Sherpa is a new app for the iPhone that promises to deliver in-store coupons for more than 100 major chain store brands, such as Zales, GNC, JCPenney, Rite Aid, Macy's, AMC Theatres, and so on.

An app like this doesn't promise to give you every coupon under the sun. It just promises to bring you lots of them, particularly for nationwide chains, and when it comes to savings, simply having timely information is your biggest weapon.

Coupon Sherpa looks around and finds going deals and compiles them in a list, by the type of product being sold. Most of the things you'll find are not for specific items, but for general savings, such as $5 off purchase of $35 (at GNC) or $3 off cakes (Baskin-Robbins) or buy-one-pair-get-one-half-off (Payless).

Over the weekend I read a great post on BillShrink.com about 16 depression era money saving tips that you can start doing to better prepare yourself for the realities of our current economic situation.

BillShrink does a great job finding the characteristics and behaviors that got our grandparents through the Great Depression and making them applicable to our lives in 2009. Arguably we should have been following these words of wisdom for the past few decades, but there's no time like the present to start.

The top four tips include:

Did you know that you can score free products just by using regular, everyday coupons? It's true, and here are five examples that you can use to try this strategy out.

1) $0.50 off Cottonelle toilet paper 4-packs – if you're lucky enough to live near a Kroger that doubles coupons, you can use this to purchase 4-packs of Cottonelle toilet paper for free. With five kids, we go through a lot of toilet paper, so this saves us a ton of money each month.

2) $1 off Renu MultiPlus Contact Solution – search out the travel size in the trial size section of stores (spotted at Target for sure), and you can use this coupon to stock on up free contact solution.

We used 10% more coupons in the fourth quarter of 2008 than we did during the same time last year, according to Inman, a company that processes promotions. For the whole year we collectively reached into our wallet and pulled out 2.6 billion pieces of ratty paper. But that's nothing compared to the 7.9 billion pieces of indignity we used in 1992 at the end of the last recession.

The recession is leading us all to do things we'd rather not. Coupons are one of them. The company says coupon use was actually down for most of 2008, but really surged in November and December. Coupons are shifting from supermarkets to mass marketers and getting more valuable. And sellers are using them more: they produced 317 billion last year.

So it's still less than one in 100 coupons turned in, even in the worst economy in most of our lifetimes. Why? Because we hate coupons. They make us feel like we're being led around to not only buy what an ad sells us, but carry around little scraps of paper, treat them like currency and risk the wrath of some unruly clerk who finds some reason not to accept them. (And here I know I am biased from living in New York City, where grocery stores refuse coupons with impunity and glee.)

I just feel like a sucker using a coupon: surely for the cost of printing 100 coupons and processing mine, someone could have just lowered the price a little. Store coupons -- as opposed to those issued by a manufacturer -- are the worst: just have a sale, don't put me through the little song and dance. As the economy gets worse I may become desperate enough to use them, but for now I'm cutting back in other ways that don't feel so grubby.

One of the few problems with coupons is that they can lead to overspending. Most of us will clip a superfluous coupon rather than pass it by, if only because of our primal urge to stockpile.

Plus it's just too hard to pass up $5 off an anything. No matter whether we need it, or have ever purchased the product in the past. We MIGHT use it, we rationalize. Better safe than sorry.

Cleaning out an overstuffed coupon drawer filled with expired coupons is when the sorrow usually kicks in.

Thankfully this is a simple problem to fix. No matter what you are clipping coupons for, just say no to ones that don't fit your needs. If you don't normally buy a product or can't substitute a discounted product for something you regularly use, don't waste your time cutting it out. By not clipping it you'll remove the in-aisle temptation to splurge.
