If you click a link with an * to go through to a provider, we may get paid. This usually only happens if you get a product from it. This is what funds our team of journalists, and keeps us free to use. Yet there are two crucial things you need to know about this.
- This never impacts our editorial recommendations – if it's in, it's in there because we independently rate it best.
- You'll always get as good a deal (or better) than if you went direct.

If you sign up to Bella Italia's newsletter and purchase a main meal from the A La Carte menu, you can get a free main meal when dining in at the restaurant (find your nearest).
In other words, this offer works a bit like a 2for1 deal as you need to purchase one full-priced main meal in order to get the free one. Bella Italia told us this is an ongoing deal with no end date, although we'll update you here if that changes.
A main meal usually costs between £10-£17, but this can differ depending on your location.
How to claim the free main meal
Once you've signed up to the newsletter, you'll be sent a unique code which you'll need to quote to a member of staff when paying. The cheapest main of the two will be deducted from your bill. This deal is limited to a maximum of three codes per table. You'll only have 14 days after signing up to use your code, however, before it expires.
The offer cannot be used alongside any other offer or discount, including Tesco Clubcard vouchers. It's not valid on delivery or take away. This is valid at most Bella Italia restaurants, but excludes Center Parcs sites and Milton Keynes on event day.

Use the Money Mantras
Before spending, use Martin’s Mantras. If you answer 'NO' to any, then don't buy!
Then ask:
- Do I need it?
- Can I afford it?
- Have you checked prices elsewhere?
Then ask:
- Will I use it?
- Is it worth it?
Free protection for all shopping!
There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
What the * means above
If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.
You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link.
