Economic insecurity has forced a long time Lindt Bunny mother to become a common Cadbury bunny mum.

With the fuel crisis putting even more pressure on Australian's already navigating a seemingly never ending cost of living crisis, many are being forced to confront the new reality head on.

Sofia Gauntly (48), a solicitor and mother of 2, has been forced to discreetly scan the Cadbury bunny at the self checkout after seeing the astronomical price of her preferred Lindt bunny this year.

Witnesses say the moment was tense, with Sofia pausing briefly before selecting the purple-wrapped alternative, carefully placing it face down on the scanner.

“It just felt wrong” she admitted, avoiding eye contact with nearby shoppers loading up on half-price eggs.

"I worked my arse off to be a mum that buys Lindt bunnies"

Her children are reportedly struggling to process the shift, with one asking whether if she got laid off of work or something.

Experts say cases like Sofia’s are becoming increasingly common, as families are forced to abandon small luxuries in favour of more accessible options.

Retail analysts confirm a noticeable surge in Cadbury bunny sales, particularly among shoppers who used to look down on the bunny as an icon of working class Australia.

Despite the transition, the mother of three insists it’s temporary.

“We’ll be back” she said quietly, placing the receipt in her bag.
