Welcome to California Consumer, the new name for our expanded shopping blog, formerly known as To Live and Buy in LA.

This blog plans to keep its shopping shoes on. But it also will be home to a wide range of issues of interest to anyone with a wallet, no matter how empty these days.

Come here to find news of product recalls, gasoline prices, scams, going-out-of-business sales, shopping trends and Barbie’s latest identity crisis.

Please send us your tips and questions: How are you pinching your pennies? What awesome deal have you spotted? Do you think you’ve been scammed?

Because we’re all in this recession/depression together.
