14 meals for three, built on dishes you share instead of count: gratins, casseroles and one-pot meals, rather than packs of four.
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 listShepherd's pie, gratin, quiche, casserole: nothing that's counted in units. For three, that's what keeps you from buying four steaks and tossing one.
Tuesday night's Basque chicken becomes Wednesday's lunch wraps. One cooking session, two meals, zero sad leftovers.
For three, the big packs start paying off: the kilo of potatoes and the 500 g pack of pasta get used up completely.
Homemade burgers and oven potato wedges: the week ends on a meal nobody has to put up with.
Thursday night, double the mashed potatoes: it covers next week's shepherd's pie or a leftovers skillet for Friday lunch.
Monday's lunch rice salad is made with the rice from the night before. Nothing's quicker to take to the office.
A quiche for three always leaves one extra slice. Wrapped up, it's lunch on the following Monday.
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.
The most requested format, 14 meals sized just right.
Family of four, dishes to share.
Dishes kids actually finish.
A week for four at the lowest price.
Veggies twice a day, no deprivation.
Two hours on Sunday, your week's sorted.
Supermarkets sell in twos or fours, almost never in threes. Two habits are enough: pick dishes you serve with a ladle rather than by the piece, and decide when you shop where the extra serving will go, the freezer or the next day's lunch. This menu does both.
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.
