How old are you exactly? What about doing odd jobs or babysitting?

I don't know how old you are, but ask your Mom if you can get a job. They are always hiring teenagers at McDonald's and places like that. I don't know California laws, but where I live, a young person can get a job if they get working papers filled out. Maybe your Mom can help you with that.
You will feel really good when you can shop and buy clothes out of money that you earn yourself and start a savings account and put money in it, but help out your Mom too since she works hard to clothe and feed you. You will feel really good about yourself if you do!

find some of your Mother's friends that might have kids and babysit..offer to do odd jobs around friends houses..maybe some older ladies in your neighborhood will need some help with chores or shopping. Wash peoples cars, walk dogs..just be careful who you go up to ..make sure you are familiar with those people.

Do chores for neighbors or babysit for your mom's friends. There are tons of things you can do to get money as a young teen.

Make due with what you've got. Shopping is nice, but not everything. You can window shop; enjoy the experience, and remember it.

Don't worry about shopping. Study your homework, it will pay you more in the long run.
