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 use my student discount at Central Co-op?
Just show your Student Beans iD barcode at the checkout and the cashier will scan it before you pay. 10% comes off your qualifying purchases on the spot.
Does every Central Co-op store accept the student discount?
No, only participating stores take part, so it's worth checking the store locator before you head out. With 249 confirmed stores across areas like Derbyshire, Leicestershire and the West Midlands, there's a good chance one's near you.
How do I prove I'm a student?
You verify your student status when you sign up to Student Beans, which gives you your unique iD. Once verified, that iD is what gets scanned in store for your discount.
Is anything excluded from the 10% off?
Yes, baby milk, lottery, fuel, postage stamps and gift cards aren't included. Everything else that counts as a qualifying purchase gets the discount while stocks last.
Can I use the discount online or for click and collect?
This offer is for in-store shopping only, so it won't apply to online orders. You'll need to be in a participating store and show your iD at the till.
Can I get cash back instead of the discount?
No, the offer can't be exchanged for cash. It's also subject to availability and Central Co-op can amend or withdraw it at any time.
