You might find dozens of interesting products on Froogle before you decide to buy one. Don’t lose track of them; just start – and, if you want, share – a Shopping List. |
|
Shopping List You can save items you find on Froogle in a private list that only you can view. Just click “My Shopping List” at the top of any Froogle page. You’ll be asked to create a Google Account (if you already have one through Gmail or Google Groups, you can use that). Now just click “Add to List” in any product listing to add that product to your Shopping List. |
|
Notes Each item on your Froogle Shopping List even has a “Notes - edit” link that lets you add and save comments about that product. |
|
Wish List Why pay for stuff yourself when you can make a Wish List and send the URL to everyone you know? To add an item to your Wish List, just move it over from your private Shopping List by clicking that item’s “In Wish List” checkbox. Friends and family can also find your Wish List by searching for your email address here. |
