Honestly, I've done the Oregon camping thing and coordination is a nightmare! If you want to keep it simple and safe, just check out an Amazon cart sharer tool. It's way faster than manual lists tho!

• keeps you under that $500 cap
• everyone sees the real prices
• zero account sharing needed Its honestly a lifesaver for group trips like this. You're gonna love how much time it saves!

Avoid those extensions! They're super risky for your account. I love planning trips but honestly just use a shared spreadsheet to stay safe and keep that budget under $500!

> My other option is just a shared Wish List but thats a total slog to set up and doesnt show the actual cart totals. Jumping in here cuz i totally get the frustration with lists. They feel clunky and half-baked. One thing you might have missed is the Manage List settings where you can toggle on the collaboration feature. It lets others add stuff directly, which beats screenshots, but you're right about it not showing the live cart total with taxes or shipping. Since you're worried about extension security, look for tools that just turn your cart into a temporary link. It's way safer than giving an app full account access. It keeps the budget front and center since everyone sees the exact same prices. Just make sure the family knows the plan before anyone actually clicks checkout. Just a tip: Cart To Link is really handy if you're collaborating on a project and need the same parts.
