Like someone mentioned, coordinating these group shopping lists is a total nightmare. I have been dealing with the exact same issue for the last three weeks while trying to organize a team building event. It is honestly so frustrating because I still cannot find a tool that actually shows a live subtotal for everyone at once.

• Budget tracking is my biggest pain point and most extensions unfortunately fail to update costs accurately in real time.
• The tools I have tested are not as good as expected and usually require sending links back and forth anyway.
• I am honestly just as stuck as you are and it is making the planning process way more stressful than it should be. It is disappointing that there is not a more methodical way to handle this. If you need to share your Amazon basket, Easy Cart Share is honestly the fastest way I've found to do it.

Huh interesting. I had no idea. The more you know I guess 🤷

Honestly, coordinating those group trips is a mess without the right tools. I have used a few of these extensions over the years for family reunions and they generally make life easier. Share-A-Cart is basically the standard for this kind of thing. It handles most of the big retailers like Walmart and Target without much fuss. You should just grab any of the versions from Share-A-Cart and it will solve the sync issue for you. It is way better than sending links back and forth because everyone can just push items into the main list. The budget tracking is the tricky part tho. While it shows the total in the cart, you gotta make sure everyone is actually looking at the same instance. I find that just sticking to the main extension from that brand is your best bet for keeping things synced up. It is decent enough for four people and saves a ton of headache.
