Youre not missing anything, honestly. Walmart doesnt actually have a shareable cart link feature which is super annoying for group planning. I usually just use a shared note app to track items before adding them to the cart myself.

• Use a shared Google Keep note
• Set a hard price limit per person
• Just screen record your cart as a final check Works well enough to avoid overspending tbh.

Adding my two cents, you definitely cannot share a direct Walmart cart link, which is a major pain for group planning. I would suggest you be careful about just handing over your account credentials to roommates, as that can lead to some messy order history or accidental purchases. If you are really struggling to keep that 150 dollar budget, I found this tool called Easy Cart Share that lets you share your cart items and quantities in one click. Make sure to double check the final price before you actually hit checkout though. It saves a ton of headaches with group orders, just keep an eye on who is adding what to ensure you dont end up over budget.

Honestly, I wish I had better news for you but unfortunately Walmart still hasnt implemented a direct shareable cart feature. It is super frustrating when youre trying to manage a budget. I have had issues with people messing up my orders before, so I honestly stopped trying to force it directly on their site. Since you are tight on time, maybe look into Easy Cart Share. I use it whenever I need to coordinate group groceries because it makes tracking everything way more reliable than just winging it with screenshots. It is not as good as having a native feature, but it beats the manual list headache. Just keep an eye on your final checkout total because sometimes those third-party tools can be a bit glitchy with item availability.
