Moving into this new place in Austin next Friday and honestly I am buzzing! Me and two roommates finally signed the lease and now we gotta furnish the whole kitchen and living area from scratch on like an 800 dollar budget which is tight but doable if we're smart. We have been sending each other links for air fryers and rugs and basic stuff like dish soaps and it’s getting so confusing so fast. I need a way for all three of us to just dump everything into one cart so we can see the total and make sure we aren't going over budget before I hit buy.

I've been digging around and I'm torn between a couple ways to do this. I looked at Amazon Household first because I have Prime but it seems like it's mostly for families or just two people and there's three of us so I don't know if that's gonna work for a group cart? Like can we actually see each others items in the basket before checking out or is it just for sharing the shipping benefits?

Then I saw these browser extensions like Share-A-Cart where you can supposedly just send the whole cart to someone else with a code but I've never used one and I'm worried it might be glitchy or not let us all edit it at once. I also thought about just making a Move-In Wish List and having everyone add to that then moving it to the cart but that feels like an extra step that might get messy if someone forgets to move an item or if things go out of stock while we're waiting. Plus I want to see the tax and everything calculated together.

I really want the easiest most seamless way to have one single cart that we can all see and edit in real time before we pull the trigger on Tuesday. Is Household actually better for this or should I stick to a third-party tool or even just a shared List... how do I actually get a shared shopping cart working for a group of 3?
