So my boyfriend and I just moved into this cute little place in Austin and we are super stoked to finally get it all set up!! We have like a $1500 budget for all the boring adult stuff like a new microwave and some area rugs and maybe a decent vacuum since our old one literally started smoking lol. We need to get everything ordered by the end of the month before our housewarming party and honestly we are arguing about the best way to do it on Amazon.
Im leaning towards just making a huge Wishlist because it feels cleaner and we can see everything in one spot but he thinks we should just share a login and dump everything into the cart so we can see the total price with tax and everything right away. Im kinda worried about the shared cart thing because what if one of us accidentally buys the whole cart before weve actually decided on the colors or compared prices on everything?? Also the wishlist thing seems easier for keeping track of stuff we might want later but arent ready to pull the trigger on yet. But then again seeing that total in the cart helps us stay under that $1500 limit. We tried the Amazon Household thing but it feels a bit clunky for just picking out house stuff together.
Which one do you guys think is actually more efficient for a couple trying to furnish a whole place fast without going over budget?
Wishlists are amazing for safety! We bought everything by mistake once. Total disaster tho...
Moving is so exciting! We were in the same boat last year and honestly found that wishlists are better for comparing, but you definitely need a way to share Amazon carts to see that final total. It works so well for keeping us on budget.
