Cheap Vanity Fair products @ Publix

In todays Redplum insert there was a Publix coupon for $1 off any one package of Vanity Fair.  If you pair this with a manufacturer coupon you can get some really cheap products. The price check in my area (tampa) is $1.99 - $2.99. So depending on which MQ you have you can score some pretty good deals.
