14 simple meals to plan your week without blowing your budget, and the grocery list ready to go.
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 listLentils, chickpeas and eggs replace meat in most meals: that's where most of the price gap comes from.
A kilo of rice, 500 g of lentils, three cans of chickpeas: everything you buy gets eaten during the week.
Potatoes, carrots, onions, zucchini: sturdy, cheap, and they work in everything from gratin to bowl.
Saturday's homemade pizza costs a third of a delivered one, and it's the most anticipated moment of the week.
A big batch of lentils on Sunday night covers Tuesday's salad and Friday's soup. Twenty minutes for two meals.
Three cans of crushed tomatoes, some garlic, a little sugar: the base for the pasta, the gratin and the pizza, for a fraction of the price of jarred sauce.
A kilo bag of rice is almost always cheaper per kilo than 500 g packs, and it doesn't expire.
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.
All our menus follow the same format: 14 meals, a grocery list, an estimated budget.
A week for four at the lowest price.
The most requested format, 14 meals sized just right.
No meat or fish, and filling.
Every ingredient used up within the week.
Two people, a little meat, zero waste.
Five ingredients, zero technique.
Three levers, in order: put legumes and eggs at the center instead of meat, pick cheap vegetables that keep, and don't buy any ingredient that only goes into one dish. This menu does all three, hence $43 for fourteen meals.
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.
Nope. No sign-up, no email, no ads. Your meal plan lives online, behind a secret link only you know.
