Flexuate for Fluctuate

This, we think, is a true eggcorn:

“Green Beans Local and very nice. Price flexuating again due to this cold weather slowing down production.”

Found on an organic produce delivery service’s site.

We assume the writer is equating “flux” with “flex”—both do have a sense of “movement”.
