How it works
How to get the Central Co-op student discount
It takes seconds at the till, no queueing at customer service required.
Step 1
Sign up on Student Beans
Get verified on Student Beans and find Central Co-op to grab your student iD.
Step 2
Do your shop as normal
Pick up your qualifying purchases in a participating Central Co-op store, keeping in mind exclusions like baby milk, lottery, fuel, postage stamps and gift cards.
Step 3
Scan your iD at checkout
Present your Student Beans barcode at the till so it can be scanned and 10% taken off your order.
Weekly shop stress is real, but Central Co-op's got your back with 10% off in-store when you flash your Student Beans iD at the till. No faff, no forms, just a scan and a discount on your basket.
We've mapped out all 249 confirmed Central Co-op stores that take part, so you can check before you shop rather than getting caught out at the checkout.
How to use your Central Co-op student discount
It's dead simple: get your Student Beans iD sorted, head to a participating Central Co-op store, do your shop, then present your barcode at the till so it can be scanned and applied to your qualifying purchases. The 10% comes straight off there and then, no waiting around for a refund or code.
Why it's worth it
Groceries are one of those costs you can't dodge, so 10% off your actual shop hits different to a discount on stuff you don't need. Just remember it's for in-store purchases at participating locations, and a few things don't count towards the discount, like baby milk, lottery, fuel, postage stamps and gift cards.

Chances are there's one closer than you think.
Questions
Central Co-op student discount FAQs
How do I get the Central Co-op student discount in store?
Just show your Student Beans iD barcode at the till when you're paying and it'll be scanned to take 10% off your qualifying purchases. There's no code to type in or app to open beyond having your iD ready.
Does every Central Co-op store accept the discount?
No, only participating Central Co-op stores offer the Student Beans discount, not the entire chain. Use the store finder or the map on this page to check which locations near you take part before you shop.
How do I verify I'm a student?
You verify once through Student Beans when you sign up, and that gets you your Student Beans iD to use in store. Once you're verified, you're set for every visit.
Are there things I can't get the discount on?
Yes, a few exclusions apply: baby milk, lottery, fuel, postage stamps and gift cards don't qualify for the 10% off. Everything else in a qualifying purchase should be covered.
Can I use the discount online or for click and collect?
The terms specify this is redeemable in participating Central Co-op stores only, so it's an in-store, at-the-till offer. Make sure you're shopping in person and scanning your barcode at checkout.
Can I get cash back instead of the discount?
No, the offer can't be exchanged for cash and is subject to availability while stocks last. Central Co-op can also amend or withdraw the promotion at any time, so it's worth checking in on the details occasionally.
