50% OFF FOODPANDA DELIVERY (AGAIN) 

Shoutout to the food delivery guys who spoil us all. After the 50 per cent off discount code last week, Foodpanda is back with another one to save us some hard-earned cash. 

Valid till July 14, you can use the promo code "MANIA" to get 50 per cent off your meals. You'll have to be quick though -- there are only 5000 redemptions allowed everyday. 

We're happy to report that the voucher worked for us this morning but if you were thinking of ordering your entire week's worth of food right now (like I did), you can drop that thought.
