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.

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.
