14 meals where every ingredient gets used up: delicate produce early in the week, leftovers placed at the right time, and a fridge raid built into the menu.
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 listSalad, herbs and bunch carrots come early in the week, vegetables that keep and canned goods at the end. The order of meals follows the expiration date, not your mood.
Roasted on Monday night, in a wrap for Tuesday lunch, in a broth on Tuesday night. The carcass makes the base for Sunday's soup: nothing goes in the trash.
Carrot tops in soup, parsley stems in the broth, stale bread as French toast and croutons. A third of a household's food waste comes from there.
Friday's fridge raid and Sunday's soup have no fixed recipe: they're the two safety valves that soak up whatever's left, no matter what.
What needs eating first goes in front, the rest in the back. Waste almost always comes from food you didn't see.
A bit of cream, two spoonfuls of tomato paste, leftover broth: in an ice cube tray, you can use them by the spoonful instead of letting them go bad in the fridge.
Soft carrots, limp celery, sad-looking salad: thirty minutes in ice water and they're crunchy again. Nothing to toss.
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.
No meat or fish, and filling.
The most requested format, 14 meals sized just right.
14 solo meals, 7 cooking sessions, zero wasted leftovers.
Two hours on Sunday, your week's sorted.
Two people, a little meat, zero waste.
Three habits cover most of it: plan meals in order of how fast the food goes bad, plan two meals with no fixed recipe to soak up leftovers, and shop based on the menu rather than the other way around. A French household throws away about 30 kg of food per person per year, a big chunk of which was never even opened.
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.
