how do you get around TW not having a wishlist?

[21farms]

this question is just for fun. since tacklewarehouse doesn't have a wishlist or a "save for later" feature and because your shopping cart is automatically emptied if you don't visit the site for a couple of days, how do you keep track of what you want to buy next?

for me, i used to type the items i wanted into a spreadsheet. later, i started to just print out my cart on paper. i then moved to saving my cart as a PDF and emailing it to gmail account. my current solution is my favorite: i installed the "save to google drive"-extension in google chrome...all i have to do now is click on the button and it saves a snapshot of my shopping cart to google drive and access it from anywhere.

I've been taking screenshots of my cart when coming up with my wishlist. Screenshot, paste into an email and sending to myself.

Copy and paste it into Word. Quick and easy!

I have a pen and paper and often list interesting items for future reference. I can then go back and compare to select the most suitable stuff. I also compare prices with other suppliers. I find TW very hard to beat!

My default is to just order two of everything.

Actually, as Cracker said, iphone notes seems to keep my relatively "on task," so that only a "few" other items not on my list finds its way into the cart.

i place about a dozen orders with TW a year. i like to aggregate my orders so that i: 1) get over $50 to qualify for free shipping, 2) get over $150 to qualify for a free t-shirt, or 3) wait for a sale. it really bugs me that i can't just visit their website, see something i want and add it to the cart and have it stay in there until i'm ready to place the order. i love TW but they just don't seem to "get it". on their message board, people repeatedly ask them to implement a wishlist feature and they always respond with "we're thinking about it" or "we're working on it". sure, awhile ago, they extended the time items stay in shopping carts from a few hours to a few days before they're deleted but that is still not long enough and frustrating. with most other retailers, items i put in my cart stay there indefinitely until i remove them. it is beyond comprehension to me why TW likes to empty shopping carts so much

Its a great idea, they need to get on it. Your proved the point why, maybe thats why they are draggin there feet on this?

TW seems to be a victim of their own success. Lots of service complaints on a recent thread as well as this and other user experience issues. My sense is that the owners have a few options - Cash out now (we all lose here) or stay long term and get focused on building a company that is strategic, long term, spectacular, and customer focused.

The lack of a wish list feature costs them thousands of dollars a year I'm sure. I know I constantly forget things I was going to buy and don't bother to go looking for again when I finally get around to making an order...

I suggested they offer one years ago. Fell on deaf ears. Great idea so guys can load a card and wife can pay for it a Xmas and you get what you want rather than a "go to hell" fishing hat and an Ugly Stick.
