Has anyone tried to use coupons from hfqpdb.com

If so how since you don't physically have it? The coupons work on HF.com but they don't have order online pick up in store. I want to buy a tool box but they want $168 to ship it.

I just pull up a the coupon on the screen and show it to the cashier, the numeric number on the coupon has to be valid. Unless you encountered a real cashier princess / prince ( I have encounter a few), that don't want to type in the coupon when they just can't scan bar codes.

Will they take printed off coupons? The one coupon is hard to read but i got it to work on there site.

Never had them refused. If they question it, just tell them you got it in a HF email and it was either print it or bring the computer in.....

Lots of people print coupons; many on terrible printers with the wrong settings.

Most still scan just as well as anything you'd pull out of a newspaper.

Despite how hard they seem to be to operate at times, bar code scanners and reading software are actually extremely good at what they do, and very good at figuring things out.

We just get the idiot-proofed ones in self-checkout. The cashiers get the good stuff.

They can scan the barcode right off the phone screen. I think there's been only one time that the cashier had to type in the code.

Be careful with specialist "coupon sites". Those printing extensions they drop in your browser and follow you around with are no joke. You're better off exercising your newspaper cutting muscles. Your information should be worth more to you than 10% of $9.99.

I always just put them on my phone and zoom in on the barcode when I go to use it. They never have any issue with it.

That's what I do. They used to have the "red line" laser barcode scanners, and those wouldn't read the code off my screen, so they'd have to type it in. By me, the have recently upgraded to 2D camera type barcode scanners that read the code right off my phone without any trouble.

hfqpdb.com is as safe as GJ. But I will agree that a lot of other sites that claim to be providing coupons aren't all what they seem.
