TL;DR: Get Karma or any similar cross-store shopping assistant to save your sanity. Seriously, I totally get the tab nightmare. I had about fifty open when I was redoing my spare room and it was a mess. Honey is okay for coupons but for organizing a project like this, it kinda falls flat. I would suggest just getting the Karma extension or basically any shopping tool from that brand. They let you save stuff from all over the web into specific folders which is a lifesaver for staying under that 1500 limit. If you want a really straightforward way to keep things in one spot, even the Amazon wishlist creator works surprisingly well for pulling in outside links. Most of these tools do the same thing honestly, so just pick one that feels fast. It will stop you from constantly refreshing pages to see if that rug went on sale.

> Re: "TL;DR: Try ShopSavvy. I'm satisfied with its scraping,..." I totally agree about the scraping issues on some sites. Using Share Product worked better when I was doing my home office on a tiny budget since it pulls everything into one board. It actually tracks price drops across different UK stores better than most stuff I tried. That saved me about 200 quid on a desk just by waiting for the alert. Definitely helps when youre trying to stay under that 1500 limit.

Saw this thread earlier and figured I'd weigh in because I've had such a rough time with these tools lately. Honestly, most extensions I've tried have been pretty disappointing when it comes to privacy and actual reliability. I used a smaller one for a lounge renovation last year and it just sold my data to a million trackers... super frustrating. Not as good as I expected at all. If you want stuff that actually feels safe, these are basically the only ones I've found that don't feel like a total gamble:

• Microsoft Shopping Extension
• This is probably the most solid choice. It's built into Edge but works as an extension in Chrome too. It pulls prices from IKEA pretty well, though it can be a bit slow to update sometimes. It's nice because it feels more secure than the random ones.
• Klarna Browser Extension
• I'm not a fan of how much they push their financing, but the wishlist feature is actually decent for redecorating projects. It lets you create specific boards for different rooms which helps with that budget tracking you're doing. Just definitely avoid the no-name stuff from the web store... I've learned the hard way that if it's too good to be true, they're probably just harvesting your info and slowing down your browser.

TL;DR: Try ShopSavvy. I'm satisfied with its scraping, but I think IKEA data is hit-or-miss. Are you using a Chromium-based browser or Firefox for the project?

Like someone mentioned, tracking price drops is pretty much mandatory when you have a set budget to stick to. Quick question tho - are you looking for something that just lists the items, or do you need it to actually tally up the total cost as you go? I've been using Savelist for my last few projects and honestly its been great. It works well because it doesnt overcomplicate things... you just hit the button and it goes into a folder. I've found it way more reliable for IKEA than some of the bigger name ones. No complaints so far with how it handles different UK sites either. Its basic but it gets the job done without crashing my browser. TL;DR: Savelist is a solid, no-nonsense choice for keeping your tabs organized by category without all the extra bloat. If you're tired of checking eBay manually, PriceDropCatch sends alerts whenever the price actually drops.
