Taking Advantage of the Student Discount During Grocery Shopping (in Montreal)

21 Oct 2025

Below is the store ordering according to my personal preference🤪 ⚠️ Initially posted December 2023, current update in October 2025, and I would suggest regularly consulting the supermarkets' website for updates.

*There are similar blog posts that recapitulate student discounts nearby.

Oct. 2025 Update:

1. Maxi (1500 Boul. Réne-Lévesque Boulevard Ouest)

(They have a sign in store about this discount - this is the case at least till Oct. 2025 when I wrote this)

This new Maxi at Montreal downtown offers 10% student discount (in the form of PC optimum points) on Tuesdays - with your student ID card and PC Optimum membership code, the 10% discount is added to your PC optimum card as points.

1. Metro

Click for information on their website.

Certain participating stores (3575 Avenue Du Parc, the one downstairs at Galeries du Parc is among them) offer 10% off on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays for students. You need to pass by a cashier for check-out and show your student ID card. I think throughout Fall 2023 there is no minimum pay (but earlier before it was a minimum of 50CAD before tax).

2. Adonis

The downtown store on rue Sainte-Catherine (2173 rue Sainte-Catherine ouest) offers 10% off (no minimum) Monday to Wednesday when you present your student ID and ask for the student discount during check out! (I just tried it earlier today with a dual purpose of practicing French😝 have been trying to use only French while doing grocery shopping recently)

I heard that the other store on rue Peel is also a participating store but I haven’t had a chance to check it out yet.

3. Super C

Click for information on their website.

Note that there’s only one participating store in Montreal, the one near Parc La Fontaine, store address 2035 rue Atateken.

The 10% off student discount is valid every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at a minimum of 40CAD. Again, present your student ID during check-outs.

4. Provigo

Only on Monday, check out with a cashier, present your student ID card and ask for the discount.

The 10% discount is offered to you in the form of PC Optimum points, therefore you will need the PC Optimum member card (or an app, member card in its digital form).
