Hello Dollar Stretchers!
My name is Meghan Whitmer and I’m a twenty-something working mother who
lives in the New York Metropolitan area.
I’m an environmentally savvy, do it myselfer who takes great pleasure in
getting more from less. My husband and I
are aiming to become a one income family, in our high cost of living area, and
are saving hard, making due with less, but never cutting corners in our
quest. This blog is called the Whole
Buffalo after our families’ philosophy – waste not, want not. I’m sure many of you are familiar with the
stories of Native Americans who made use of absolutely everything? Well, it’s the same story in our house. If we can fix it, repurpose it, resell it,
save it, you name it, we try to make it work.
We buy what we need – not what we want!
In this blog, I’ll share my tips for living a life of
quality, not quantity, and give you a glimpse into the life of a hardworking,
frugal, and socially responsible urban family.
I welcome insight and feedback and would love to hear from other people
who believe that change begins at home – please share your thoughts with me in
the comments!
