‘Think about others for a change': Wife Hesitant to Take Food From Those in Need While Husband Is Determined to Shop Frugally, Despite His 200K Income

In a country where healthcare is privatized and social security programs are endlessly hard to come by, food banks are considered a saving grace for those living around or below the poverty line. As food prices increase - especially the healthier options - these institutions give all citizens the opportunity to access to fresh and nutritious foods. 

It's objectively a good thing, right? We think so too! But unfortunately, not everyone agrees – or, more accurately, not everyone cares. Take this woman, writing into Reddit with quite a dilemma. Her husband of 18 years, who lives comfortably on her trust fund and their collective 200K annual salary, insists on 'shopping' at food banks to save money, rather than go to regular, normally priced grocery stores whose goods are not specifically put aside for those in need. We know, we couldn't believe it either. Just how selfish can you get? And the commenters agreed - take a look below to see how this totally wild story plays out online.
