'I walked out on my husband after discovering he uses foodbanks on £160k income'

A woman has described walking out on her husband after discovering he was stocking their kitchen with food bank handouts – despite earning more than £160,000 as a household.

The woman, who has not been identified, took to Reddit to ask for advice after tiring of his deliberate deception – as it emerged he would make himself look "deliberately dishevelled" to gain the sympathy of volunteers. Between them, they earn more than $200,000 a year – more than four times the area average, the Mirror reports.

Explaining her husband's "frugality", she said he is deliberately thrifty. But matters came to a head when she came home to find the fridge filled with "fresh produce and meat" from the food bank, and she left to stay with her brother.
