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.

Free blood pressure check
Over 570 test sites in pharmacies, shopping and leisure centres
ExpiredCharity Blood Pressure UK is offering free blood pressure checks to the public at more than 570 sites across the UK until Sun 24 Sep as part of its annual 'Know your Numbers' week.
Most of the test sites are in pharmacies, but some are in shopping and leisure centres too - you can find your nearest by entering your postcode online.
While you can get a free blood test at your GP, getting an appointment can be tricky, but you can just turn up at one of Blood Pressure UK's test sites and you'll be seen as soon as possible.
The NHS recommends that adults over 40 years of age have their blood pressure tested at least every five years, although people of all ages can get one of these free checks, which are given by a health professional using an automatic blood pressure monitor.
What happens if my blood pressure's high?
If a high reading is taken, the health professional will encourage you to wait and relax, before taking further readings to see if they are still high. If they are, depending on how high, you will be given a referral letter and encouraged to make an appointment with your GP within a given timescale.
Since launching in 2001 with the aim of reducing stroke and heart disease, Blood Pressure UK says it’s given over 1.5 million free blood pressure checks over the course of eight 'Know your Numbers' week events.
While the blood pressure check is free, you can donate to the charity online.

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. For more details, read How this site is financed.
