Affiliate disclosure

Last updated 18 July 2026

We may earn a commission when you buy through our links — it never affects what we recommend, and we buy everything we test.

How the money works

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, the retailer pays us a small commission. You pay exactly the same price — the commission comes out of the retailer's margin, not your pocket.

As an Amazon Associate, PreparedBritain earns from qualifying purchases. We also work with merchants on the Awin affiliate network, currently including ReadyWise (emergency food), Jackery (portable power) and Water-to-Go (filter bottles). Affiliate links on our pages are marked with rel="sponsored" in the page code, as search-engine guidelines require.

What commissions never buy

• Rankings. Our top picks are our top picks. A higher commission has never moved a product up a table, and a zero commission has never kept a good product off one. Where the best answer earns us nothing — tap water in rotated bottles, a wind-up radio you already own — we say so.
• Coverage. We tell you when not to buy. Every review page carries an honest callout for the situations where the product is the wrong choice. That's a feature of this site, not a legal formality.
• Sponsored content. We don't publish it. No merchant has seen, edited or paid for any page on this site before publication.

Prices and availability

We track prices and stock on the products we cover, and each page shows when its data was last checked. Retail prices move, though — the price at the retailer at the moment you buy is the one that counts, so always confirm it there.

What we test

We buy the products we review at retail. Where a page covers a product we haven't physically tested — a spec-based comparison, for instance — the page says so.
