Found a price glitch on kitchen gadgets at noon yesterday and snagged 4 items for $12

I was just browsing around lunchtime yesterday on that big site and noticed a set of silicone spatulas listed for $1.50 instead of $18. Then I checked the mixing bowls and they were $3. My total came to $12 for stuff that normally runs $70. The trick is catching these right when they update prices around noon eastern. Does anyone else stalk specific times of day for these glitches or am I just that desperate for cheap spatulas?

Aren't these "glitches" really just mistakes by underpaid warehouse workers that cost the company real money? One time I saw a post bragging about getting a $60 air fryer for $8 and wondered if that person ever thinks about the lost wages or the customer service person who has to explain the error to angry buyers. Nobody considers that these price drops might be actual pricing errors and not some clever lifehack. Maybe the responsible thing is to report the error instead of exploiting it for cheap silicone.

Report it so they fix it before I can check out? No thanks." @david739 companies write off these losses and we all overpay enough as it is. The noon window is solid but weekend mornings have been good for me too.
