With Popotam, you check this list off as you go and see the budget you have left.
Create my grocery listA $2 bag of lentils feeds four meals. It's what replaces the meat, and it's also what makes the price gap.
Green lentils, red lentils, chickpeas, kidney beans and white beans: the same budget base, but never the same flavor two nights in a row.
Carrots, onions, zucchini: they last the whole week in the fridge, so nothing goes to waste between Monday and Sunday.
A dough, some tomatoes, a mozzarella: a third of the price of delivery, and it's the meal everyone looks forward to.
A big batch of green lentils on Sunday covers Monday's salad and saves one more lunch. Twenty minutes for two meals.
A can of chickpeas, some tahini, a lemon: the store-bought tub costs three times more for the same thing.
A can of chickpeas in reserve turns any salad into a complete meal on the day the week goes sideways.
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.
No meat or fish, and filling.
A week for four at the lowest price.
The absolute floor: 14 meals for $43.
Every ingredient used up within the week.
Two people, a little meat, zero waste.
Five ingredients, zero technique.
Yes, as long as legumes carry the meals rather than processed meat substitutes, which often cost more than meat itself. This menu stays at $43 for fourteen meals by relying on five different legumes, eggs and vegetables that keep.
All fourteen meals pair a legume or eggs with a whole grain: that combo is what fills you up, not the meat. Tuesday's dal and Wednesday's chili are among the most filling dishes of the week.
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.
