A 50-year old man who suffers from multiple sclerosis regularly visits the reduced section of his local Tesco in the hope of making ends meet. Exhausted and in pain, Vince Ashton struggles as he makes the short walk from the bus stop to the store – he visits late, hoping to find some yellow-stickered items.
Vince's condition affects his brain and nerves, which means he gets tired easily, has vision problems and has difficulty walking. But he makes the shopping trips to find bargains as it's the only food he can afford, Manchester Evening News reports.
Those with MS are advised to eat fruit and veg daily and avoid processed foods. But dad-of-three Vince, who is struggling with the rising cost of living, can only afford to eat whatever he finds in the reduced section. His last shop included discounted turkey slices.
