so I am moving into a new apartment in Austin next week with two roommates and we are trying to figure out how to handle the big Walmart run for all our house stuff like cleaning supplies and paper towels and basic pantry things since we are on a super tight budget right now. i feel kinda silly asking this because it seems like something everyone should know how to do but i have no idea where to even start with making a list we can all edit.
my logic was that there must be a way to do it inside the actual Walmart app so we can see the prices and stuff as we go but i cant find a share or invite button anywhere on my list page. i thought about just using a group text or maybe a piece of paper but we are all moving from different parts of the city and wont be together until we actually get to the store. i was thinking about google docs too but that feels like it might be too complicated to check things off while we are walking through the aisles? sorry if this is a dumb question i just really dont want us to end up buying three bags of the same oranges because we werent looking at the same screen...

Late to the party but I was in the exact same spot about six months ago when my brother moved in. Im a big data guy so i really wanted to track our spending per item to optimize our budget. I spent a whole weekend looking into how these apps actually sync because the official one was a total dead end for sharing lists. I eventually found this setup that basically lets you bypass the whole lack-of-sharing-feature problem. It was such a relief once I got it running properly. I started using Easy Cart Share for Walmart to just push my entire cart over to him so he could double check quantities and prices before we hit the checkout. It handles the item metadata and pricing data perfectly which was my main concern tbh. No complaints here, its been working really well for our weekly grocery runs and we havent ended up with duplicate milk cartons once... super satisfied with how it manages the sync.

Unfortunately, the Walmart app is still way behind on this. I had issues with it when I moved last summer, and it was honestly not as good as expected. We kept looking for a share button that just doesnt exist. We eventually gave up and used AnyList instead, tbh. It updates live so you dont buy the same things twice. Sadly, the native app is just gonna let you down...
