Go to Localharvest.org and see if there are any local CSAs you can join for produce. Look into ones that offer half shares, since your not feeding a family of four. Its much cheaper than grocery store in the long run, and the produce is much fresher and grown in your local area.
Minimize processed foods. Learn to cook from scratch. You dont have to do it every day, but once a week. I tend to make one large meal, and freeze leftovers into single serve portions to reheat as needed. Make a few different things each week, and your freezer will soon be full of a variety of meals so your not eating the same one thing all week.
Go meatless several days a week. Tons of websites for vegan recipes out there that are extremely budget friendly. Look for high nutrient low calorie meals. Just because its vegan doesnt mean its healthy. Donuts and cakes can be vegan.
You said your doctor told you to eat healthier. The menu example you gave has some issues in my mind. Cheese, yogurt, dressing are all high calorie, low nutrient items. You starve yourself most of the day only which will lead to temptation, not to mention lower metabolism. Your menu example also didnt include any grains or legumes. Whole grains like brown rice, barley and oats are low cost, healthy additions to your meals.
Grab a small crock pot from the store to make tons of low cost meals that are ready for you when you get home.

Fatfreevegan.com and blog.fatfreevegan.com are my favorite go to vegan recipe idea spot.
> Got any good crockpot ideas?
The gumbo in This book is fantastic.
I've made a number of Kathy Hester's recipes. She has a ton of them available for free on her web site, Healthy Slow Cooking. Don't let the name fool you, she has all sorts of recipes, not just for slow cookers (the last one I made was this soup). In fact, she just wrote a new book about vegan air frying.
If YouTube isn't your thing, check out her books (I found a number at my library):
Vegan Slow Cooking for Two or Just For You recently came out, and as you can guess from the title, is great for single-person cooking.

That's the Recipe Book I use. Apparently it's the second in the series, really want to get the first, hope that helps.
This is by far my favorite cookbook because it is just me in the husband, so I really don't need 6 servings of everything
