Ive been using Amazon for basically forever—since the days it was just books honestly—and usually I handle all the household ordering because Im the one who actually tracks our budget and inventory. But lately, my partner has been asking to add specific stuff to our orders so we can save on shipping by doing one big checkout instead of like five smaller ones throughout the week. We are trying to stick to a pretty strict budget this month for a trip we have coming up in about three weeks, and it would just be way easier if we could coordinate our purchases.

I tried searching the settings menu but honestly I feel like Amazon changes the interface every single week and now I cant find a shared cart feature anywhere. I know they used to have some weird collaborative list features, but does that actually work for a live shopping cart where we can both see items and checkout together? Like, is there a way to link our accounts so we dont have to keep texting each other screenshots of items or sending links back and forth constantly? Its super annoying to have to manually move things over every time I go to finalize the order. Maybe Im overthinking it and there isnt a direct way to do this, but if anyone knows a workaround or if Im just missing a hidden button somewhere I would love to hear it. I honestly dont want to give out my login info because of security reasons and our separate payment methods, so is there actually a way to share a cart or am I just stuck manually updating everything myself...
