I talked to a customer care representative on the phone, and they never
mentioned that it was a mistake. Instead, they pointed out that the item
pointed to was not the $19.99 blue tub (which they called the System
blue tub) and was instead the $9.99 Basic bucket, and pointed out to me
that, sure enough, the picture said 'Basic' not 'System'. So I'm not
convinced that anyone made a mistake. So I don't feel bad about my
order.

So because some web tech makes a mistake K-Mart gets to take a bath on
this.
And with the power of the internet and the (possible) misuse of various
"coupon" codes they can not only take a 50% off bath that we actually
know
wasn't the intended price, they get to lose even more money.
Yeah, yeah, "as advertised" blah blah blah. I like to get in on good
deals
myself, but this feeding frenzy mentality of jumping on what seem to be
obvious mistakes (this one is a confirmed mistake, it would seem) is
still a
little startling.
Call me crazy - I like good deals as much or more than anyone, and if
this
were completely legit I'd want to order a few dozen of them, but doesn't
*anyone* think it might be just a teensy bit wrong to capitalize on the
mistake made by one person and penalize an entire company for it?
