Do You Qualify for the $6,000 Senior Tax Deduction?
Consumer World Original
We conclude this series of products affected by shrinkflation. This week we spotlight several breakfast products going down in size along with some candy and shampoo.
That story is in Mouse Print* this week.
MotorTrend offers this eye-opening multi-part series on car buying. Part one explains how to make new car shopping less complicated. Here is part two on how to negotiate for the best price today. The last part of the series shows you how legitimate discounts that the dealer may promote can really be illusory.
With prices as high as they are now, many people are looking to scrimp and save. Here's a list of 14 signs that you have crossed the line from being frugal to being cheap. (Not that there's anything wrong with that. :) ) And in a separate story, here are some frugal tactics people say they won't give up even if they became filthy rich.

Consumer Alert
You may have seen ads in Facebook or other websites for what looks like a remarkable AI robotic dog with realistic movements and other features. Don't believe it. These are actually tiny battery-operated cheap mechanical toys. Some companies have even gone so far as to use the Consumer World name in marketing them. Don't believe that either. We sell NOTHING and certainly don't endorse scam products.
