As panic shopping sets in over COVID-19 fears, one couple took it upon themselves on Saturday night to ensure nobody else would go home with any meat for their families.

Video (see below) taken at the Save-On-Foods in Lake Country shows the couple buying the entire meat section of the store, filling two shopping trolleys full.

Another shopper shared the incident on Facebook, saying the couple "even ran in front of other customers, cutting them off" to ensure they would get every item.

"They proceeded to brag to everyone at the till that they “cleaned house” and “there’s nothing left for anyone to get” ... and laughed about “hoping they could pay for it all," wrote Taylor Born on Facebook.

"I felt SO sorry for the poor staff, they looked just as disgusted as every customer in the store.

"I am appalled at our society, this is ridiculous!!"
