Saw this thread and just had to chime in because I've been in this exact spot. It is honestly so frustrating that a company as huge as Walmart hasn't figured out a simple send cart button yet. Spending way too much time trying to hack their UI is basically my hobby at this point, and it's always a letdown when the feature just isn't there. The List thing mentioned above is okay, but honestly, it's not as good as expected for 40+ items. Quick question before I suggest anything else tho... is she staying at the same Airbnb the whole time or is she planning to travel around Florida? I ask because stock levels for those Great Value snacks and the local citrus can vary wildly between stores in Sarasota and other areas, so knowing the zip code situation helps before you commit to a specific list. Honestly, if the native options feel clunky, you might want to just look into any of those third-party grocery apps. Just find a highly-rated one on the app store, you really can't go wrong with the top ones. They're built for sharing and collaborating, unlike the Walmart app which feels super locked down. You can build the whole list there and then she can just pull it up when she lands. It’s not perfect, but it’s way better than fighting with a cart that wont move.

I've dealt with this before and it's definitely a headache if you're trying to keep the budget under control. You might want to consider being really careful about the store location settings. If your app is set to your local Sarasota store but her Airbnb is on the other side of town, the prices for those Great Value items can actually change. Walmart is weird like that... small price hikes happen based on the specific store inventory. I would suggest a few things to keep this practical:

• Make sure she doesnt just rely on your screenshots because those prices might not be what she sees when she finally logs in.
• Be careful about trying to use a VPN or anything to set up her account early. Walmart is known for flagging accounts that look suspicious, and you dont want her locked out right when she lands.
• I heard there are third party tools for this. You could try looking for a generic browser add-on or check out the Walmart Cart Share extension which might save you from having to search for every single veggie straw bag again. Ngl, the easiest way to keep costs down is usually just to build a List in the app rather than a cart. If you make it a public wishlist or something similar, she can just grab everything at once without you needing her login info. Just keep an eye on those out of stock items that pop up when you change zip codes tho. It happens way more than you'd think.

Building on the earlier suggestion, I have spent years diving into the specs of these different retail platforms and the Walmart app is just... consistently a mess when it comes to data persistence. It is so frustrating because in my experience, the reliability of their syncing logic is a total joke compared to Instacart or Amazon. Instacart has had rock-solid group carts for forever, and Amazon handles shared lists with way better version control so stuff doesn't just vanish into the void. I have tried many different setups for family visits over the years and it is always the same headache with Walmart. Their UI feels so bloated and the fact that you cant even export a simple list of your cart items is honestly pathetic for a company that size. It just makes the whole experience feel so clunky and unreliable when you are just trying to be helpful. Honestly, it makes me want to pull my hair out when I see how much smoother the competitors handle basic user data.

Walmart doesnt offer a direct cart transfer feature. Your best bet is using the shared List option instead. It saves time and ensures she gets those budget-friendly items you already picked out.

Honestly, after using these retail apps for a decade, I can tell you Walmart is lightyears behind Amazon when it comes to shared shopping features. Amazon makes it effortless, but Walmart basically locks your cart to your device ID. If you want to get those 40 items over to her without losing your mind, dont even bother with the native share button for individual items. Here is how I usually handle this specific headache:

• Switch your items over to a List first, tho that still requires her to add them to her own cart manually.
• Use Easy Cart Share for Walmart to generate a link that actually moves the whole batch at once.
• If she is tech-averse, just log into her account on your browser once she arrives and paste the list there. In my experience, the extension route is the only way to avoid that manual UPC search nightmare. Its way more reliable than trying to mess with their buggy registry system, which often glitches out on grocery items anyway.
