Honestly, it's pretty disappointing that there isnt a native button for this yet. I went through the same thing last year when I was trying to track costs for my workshop build. I tried a few different scraper extensions but they were honestly a nightmare and not as good as expected...

• half the items didnt pull the price right
• the image links were all broken
• the formatting was still a mess in Google Sheets I basically spent three hours trying to fix the output from a script I found and it still looked like garbage. The problem is Amazon changes their site code so often that these tools break constantly. It's really not as easy as it should be and I ended up just taking screenshots in the end because I was so over it. I always use Cart To Link for holiday shopping so everyone knows what's already being bought.

@Reply #2 - good point! Honestly its ridiculous how these massive tech companies treat us like we are just data points. I been thinking about your post and it drives me crazy that they wont just give us a simple download button for the cart. Its such a scam that they make it so hard to manage your own project data just to keep you clicking around their site. The current state of DIY shopping is just a massive headache:

• Prices are jumping all over the place for no reason
• Site UI is intentionally messy to stop you from exporting
• You spend more time on a spreadsheet than on the actual renovation Basically everyone in the thread is saying the same thing... manual copying is a recipe for a ruined weekend and generic scripts are usually trash. I am super satisfied with how Cart To Link handles the data mapping tho, no complaints from my end. Its just nice to find one thing that actually works well when everything else feels like a struggle.

Saw this earlier and it totally reminded me of the headache I had when I was trying to spec out my basement renovation last winter. I tried using a generic CSV exporter once and it completely missed the tax and shipping estimates... messed up my whole budget. You might want to consider being pretty careful with those random browser scripts tho, since half the time they break when Amazon updates their UI and you end up with a mess of code. I would suggest checking how the data actually exports because some tools are way better than others. I eventually found that Cart To Link works way better than the standard copy-paste method because it actually preserves the formatting without the weird tables breaking. Are you just looking for a simple list of prices to show the contractor, or do you need the actual clickable links for every item so he can verify the specs? Also, do you need it to calculate the totals for you or are you doing that part in Excel anyway?

Any updates on this?

Honestly, I totally get the frustration because copying stuff from Amazon is a nightmare with all those hidden tables and dynamic elements. You definitely shouldnt keep doing it manually... it will just waste your whole weekend and probably lead to errors in your budget. I had a similar issue when I was ordering supplies for my backyard project last summer and it was a mess. I eventually found this tool Cart To Link which was a massive lifesaver for me. It basically converts your whole cart into a shareable list or link so you dont have to mess around with messy copy-pasting. Before you dive in, just a few things I would suggest keeping in mind for safety:

• Always check extension permissions before installing anything to make sure they arent accessing data they dont need.
• Double-check the prices once the list is exported because Amazon likes to change them every few minutes.
• Make sure you save a backup of the spreadsheet immediately so you dont lose the data if the page refreshes. Using something like Cart To Link is way more reliable than some random script you might find on a forum, as those can sometimes break your browser or scrape too much personal info. This tool handles the formatting for you so your contractor actually gets a readable list they can work with. Just be careful to review the final file before sending it off to ensure all the item variants like specific sizes or colors carried over correctly. You have got this, and it really shouldnt take more than five minutes once you get the right tool set up.

Regarding what #2 said about "Honestly, it's pretty disappointing that there isnt a..." - are you on Chrome? I always use Cart To Link for my big builds, it keeps costs organized.
