But it's one product out that's really got shoppers talking - Sol and Mar orange and lemon sorbets.
One Lidl shopper who bought the orange sorbet in their local branch posted a photo on the Food Finds UK Facebook page, adding: "For all the orange lovers.
"This is the Orange Sorbet from the Lidl Spanish range. It's perfect for the weather we're in atm."
The post has caught the attention of hundreds of fellow shoppers who have been quick to like and comment.
One said: "I used to love these desserts in Spain."
Another, tagging a family member, added: "Omg these are like what dad used to buy! Need to get some for nostalgic purposes."
Meanwhile, a third said: "These are amazing."
Shoppers can buy both the orange and lemon flavour sorbets for £3.99 in their local store.
You can find your nearest store via www.lidl.co.uk/c/store-finder/s10023098.
We have asked Lidl for the calorie information for the desserts and will update this story when we have heard back.
Five simple ways to save cash at Lidl
Bear in mind, you might not be able to get them in all Lidl branches though.
Of course, with anything like this, always remember to shop around to ensure you're getting the best price.
Use price comparison websites like Trolley, Price Spy and Price Runner to scour retailer's online prices.
However, in this instance, we couldn't find any other chains selling lemon or orange sorbets like this.
You can buy tubs of sorbet, without the fruit peel, from retailers including Sainsbury's, M&S and Tesco though.
Tesco is selling a 500ml tub of lemon sorbet for £2.75, while Sainsbury's has a 500ml tub for the same price and M&S a 500ml tub for £3.
If the sorbets aren't for you, Lidl's Spanish range features 76 other products including classic Spanish crisps for £1.49 and tubs of chorizo slices for £1.99.
Shoppers can also buy Piri Piri Aioli for 99p and even Gazpacho-flavoured crisps for £1.25.
In other Lidl news, the retailer was the second cheapest supermarket for a basket of 79 items in June, according to Which?.
Plus, shoppers are going wild for a £30 dupe of a £400 jacket worn by Oasis lead singer Liam Gallagher.
How to save money on your food shop
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save hundreds of pounds a year:
Odd boxes - plenty of retailers offer slightly misshapen fruit and veg or surplus food at a discounted price.
Lidl sells five kilos of fruit and veg for just £1.50 through its Waste Not scheme while Aldi shoppers can get Too Good to Go bags which contain £10 worth of all kinds of products for £3.30.
Sainsbury's also sells £2 "Taste Me, Don't Waste Me" fruit and veg boxes to help shoppers reduced food waste and save cash.
Food waste apps - food waste apps work by helping shops, cafes, restaurants and other businesses shift stock that is due to go out of date and passing it on to members of the public.
Some of the most notable ones include Too Good to Go and Olio.
Too Good to Go's app is free to sign up to and is used by millions of people across the UK, letting users buy food at a discount.
Olio works similarly, except users can collect both food and other household items for free from neighbours and businesses.
Yellow sticker bargains - yellow sticker bargains, sometimes orange and red in certain supermarkets, are a great way of getting food on the cheap.
But what time to head out to get the best deals varies depending on the retailer. You can see the best times for each supermarket here.
Super cheap bargains - sign up to bargain hunter Facebook groups like Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK where shoppers regularly post hauls they've found on the cheap, including food finds.
"Downshift" - you will almost always save money going for a supermarket's own-brand economy lines rather than premium brands.
The move to lower-tier ranges, also known as "downshifting" and hailed by consumer expert Martin Lewis, could save you hundreds of pounds a year on your food shop.

Which? reveals best supermarket Magnum ice cream dupes
Stocking up the freezer with ice cream is an absolute must to get us through the scorching summer days, and who can say no to the satisfying crack of a chocolate-covered number? Of course, the top chocolate-covered ice cream brand in the UK is Magnum. However, you could make some savings by buying supermarket own-label ice creams instead - but how do they stack up against a Magnum Classic? Consumer champions Which? tested nine supermarket own-label ice creams in a blind-tasting that involved 60 people, and found that while none of them trumped a classic Magnum, one supermarket did hold a candle to it. A close runner-up came from a budget supermarket, giving ice cream fans more bang for their buck. In fact, two budget supermarket ice creams got higher ratings for flavour and value compared to posh supermarkets like Waitrose. Jessica Carson, Which? Food and Health Editor, said: 'Cooling down with a delicious ice cream on a hot day is the stuff that summer holidays are made of, so having a box full in the freezer is bound to please - whether you are entertaining or if you've got kids. 'While the Classic Magnum wasn't beaten in our test, one supermarket brand matched it and a bargain alternative from Lidl wasn't far behind - and is less than half the price.' The supermarket own-brand ice cream that matched Magnum's rating was none other than the M&S Chocolate Sticks. Both ice creams were rated at 82% and tasters said they loved the balance of chocolate and vanilla flavours, as well as the creamy texture of the ice cream within its chocolate shells. Which? advised customers to look out for deals on the Classic Magnums, which cost £3.50 for a pack of three, making them the most expensive of the lot. However, they are frequently on some kind of deal, so it's best to keep an eye out for special offers to get the most value for money. Classic Magnums are currently £2.75 for three for loyalty card holders at Tesco and Sainsbury's, according to the consumer website. It can also be cheaper to buy Magnums in bigger multipacks of six, if you have the freezer space for them. Here's how Which? rated the nine supermarket Magnum dupes. M&S Chocolate Sticks £2.40 for three 110ml ice creams (80p per stick) These were the only supermarket own-brand ice creams that matched up to Magnums in the Which? taste test, with tasters loving the sweetness and strength of the chocolate flavour, as well as the vanilla flavour. They are the most expensive own-label ice cream tested, but are still over a pound cheaper than full-price Magnums. Lidl Gelatelli Classic Ice Cream Sticks Rated at 79% for great value, Lidl's ice creams are cheap and cheerful. Tasters said they had 'just the right sweetness, creaminess and vanilla flavour'. These ice creams are slightly bigger than Magnums (120ml vs 100ml) yet are less than half the price of Magnum Classics, so customers will be getting more bang for their buck. Aldi Gianni's Milk Chocolate Ice Creams £1.69 for four 100ml ice creams (42p per stick) German budget supermarket Aldi offers the cheapest ice cream tested by Which? and received a decently high rating for flavour. It came in at a 77% rating. While the flavour was good, tasters said they weren't creamy enough, but at just 42p per ice cream, they're a good budget-friendly alternative to Magnums. Iceland Belgian Milk Chocolate Majestics The frozen food specialists' ice cream treat rounds off the Which? top five list, scoring well at 77% for looking great and offering a satisfyingly creamy texture. However, nearly a third of tasters complained they were too sweet. £2.25 for three 100ml ice creams (75p per ice cream) Waitrose has a reputation for being posh and expensive, but their ice creams are 5p cheaper than M&S - however, nearly half of tasters thought the vanilla flavour was far too weak. Morrisons Classic Milk Chocolate Amour Sticks £2.25 for three 110ml ice creams (75p per ice cream) Half of the tasters thought Morrison's Magnum dupes 'weren't bad', but they also were not creamy enough. £2.10 for three 110ml ice creams (70p per ice cream) Asda scored decently for sweetness and strength of chocolate flavour, but the vanilla ice cream within let it down by not being creamy enough. Tesco Milk Chocolate Ice Creams £1.39 for three 110ml ice creams (46p per ice cream) Whilst this was among the cheapest ice creams that Which? tested, over half of the tasters thought the vanilla flavour was too weak. Despite being more expensive than three of the top five ice creams, Co-op's Magnum dupes ranked the lowest because the ice cream wasn't creamy enough and the chocolate wasn't chocolatey enough. 'A bit of a letdown, but not terrible,' Which? said.

Fuel prices climb again after dropping to near four-year lows in May
The RAC hopes a Government-backed Fuel Finder scheme later this year will help drivers secure fairer deals PUMPED UP Fuel prices climb again after dropping to near four-year lows in May Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FUEL prices are climbing again at the pumps after dropping to near four-year lows in May, stats show. Unleaded now costs 134.15p a litre on average, up 2p since June 1 — while diesel has risen to 141.21p from 138.39p. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up Filling a 55-litre family car now costs £73.78 for petrol, up £1.06, and £77.67 for diesel, an increase of £1.55, RAC figures revealed. Supermarket fuel prices rose slightly less, with petrol priced at 130.26p and diesel at 136.67p. Northern Ireland remains the cheapest region, with unleaded at 128p and diesel at 134p. The surge follows tensions in the Middle East, which pushed oil prices from $64 to $79 per barrel last month. Although oil prices have dropped back to $67, costs at the pump remain high. RAC spokesman Simon Williams criticised retailers for raising prices quickly despite falling wholesale costs. He said: 'July will be a telling month — will retailers stop raising prices or even cut them? 'Or will drivers be stuck paying more for the foreseeable future?' The Competition and Markets Authority recently blamed weak competition and high retailer margins for inflated costs. While prices remain far below record highs from 2022, fuel remains a major expense. The RAC hopes a Government-backed Fuel Finder scheme later this year will help drivers secure fairer deals.

New Broughty Ferry showroom has £3,000 toilet and £7,500 bath
A new Broughty Ferry bathroom and kitchen showroom is selling a £3,000 toilet and £7,500 bath. Despite the eye-watering price points of some items, Home Improvement Centre owner Maria Inglis says her focus is on 'affordable luxury'. The new business is located on Gray Street, in the former Millars clothing store unit, which shut last year after more than a century of trading. The shop boasts three kitchen displays and eight bathroom bays and offers a full design to installation service. Maria said: 'We have a variety of price points – it's not all top end. We want to be attainable. 'Affordable luxury is what we're going for – everyone should have a nice space to live in.' The heated Japanese toilet on display has the ability to wash and dry. The £7,500 black stone bath in the window has been imported from Italy. It required six people to lift the 220kg bath into the shop. 'The Japanese-style toilets are becoming more popular,' said Maria. 'It is an expensive item – not everyone will put this in their bathroom – but there are people who will go for this. 'It has ambient lighting on the toilet so you don't need to put the bathroom lights on in the middle of the night. 'The bath comes from Aquabella, a Spanish company. They are quite exclusive and expensive, for people who want to have something extra special. 'We've put it in the window to show we're different and not run-of-the-mill. We hope having something spectacular in the window will draw people in to have a look.' Maria, who is married to Ian, said she has a passion for bathrooms and kitchens. She said the kitchens in the business are British-made with an emphasis on innovative storage solutions. She adds: 'I find kitchens exciting. As a mother of three, I feel like I spend my life in the kitchen. 'It's such a valuable space in the home. It needs to look good, but it needs to work for you as a family. It's the heart of the home. 'The Scandi-look is on trend at the moment, with a lot of natural textures and quite clean and minimalist. 'Open shelving is very popular, particularly in smaller spaces as it gives the feeling of more space. 'People are wanting to see a bit of texture in their bathrooms.' Maria said there had been a lot of interest from passing customers as the shop underwent a three-month refurbishment. The couple, who live in Monifieth, have spent more than £160,000 on the refurbishment and stock. Maria, who overcame throat cancer five years ago, said: 'When the premises popped up on Gray Street it was an opportunity not to be missed. 'We have had so many people asking about the shop as the work's been going on. 'We're really excited to open our doors on Saturday.'
