14 meals for two people for $53, with meat three times, fish once, and not a single emergency plate. For another week on the same budget, with the price of each meal, check out our grocery list for under $60 a week.
Lunch and dinner for seven days. The longer recipes land in the evenings and on weekends, and lunches stay short.
This menu doesn't quite fit your household? Popotam writes you one just like it, with your tastes, your crew at the table and your budget.
Fit this menu to my weekfree, no account, about two minutesAlready grouped by aisle, so you get through the store without doubling back.
With Popotam, you check this list off as you go and see the budget you have left.
Create my grocery listPork, ground beef, frozen pollock: about $15 for the week. It's the most expensive line, so it's the one you spread out instead of repeating.
Half of Monday's dinner becomes Tuesday's lunch wraps. Buying 400 g instead of 250 g costs $2 more and wipes out a meal you'd have to improvise.
Zucchini, leeks, carrots and potatoes handle seven days in the fridge. No delicate produce that would send you back to the store on Wednesday.
Homemade burgers and potato wedges: $4 for two, and the feeling that you didn't spend the whole week holding back.
Frozen pollock fillets cost half as much as fresh, keep for three months and go straight into the oven. It's the most affordable fish for a tight menu.
Friday's quiche only uses one crust. If you buy two on sale, the second one waits in the fridge for the next week, it keeps for a month.
Croque-monsieur, toast, burgers: bread shows up three times. Grabbing a baguette every day doubles its cost, a loaf of sandwich bread and a country loaf are enough.
Pick your tastes, your constraints and your budget. Popotam builds your meal plan and your grocery list, either generating it itself or with your own ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini account.

Yes, as long as the budget only covers meals, not cleaning or hygiene products. Fourteen meals for two at $53 comes to $1.91 per plate: doable if you cook everything, buy frozen fish and keep meat to four meals out of fourteen.
First pick a format (number of people, budget, time you have), then lay out 14 meals, lunch and dinner over 7 days, reusing the same ingredients from one dish to the next. Finish with the grocery list grouped by aisle: that's what makes sure the week holds up.
Every menu on this site comes with one, already sorted by aisle. With Popotam, you can also generate your own from your own meals: you check it off as you go and it shows the budget you have left.
Yes, and with no subscription. Two ways to generate, your pick: Popotam handles it itself, which costs it less than a cent, or you use your own ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini account, which costs it nothing. No ads, no selling your data, no commission on your groceries.
