Not sure what you are suggesting, if you want to stay away from meat, the only other alternative you have are plants, besides dairy.
I always found, if I prepare all foods myself, I can buy quality food for less than when I buy "cheap" prepared foods. And I personally don't waist any foods. You mentioned weight, yes you can loose a lot of weight if you use whole foods, instead of processed foods and soft drinks.
Are there any food banks in your area? They might be able to help you out.
I know all supermarkets through a lot of food out, and many help themselves to it, markets now donate those foods to food banks.
Farmers markets are great for fresh foods. We have a Trash and Treasure market where one can buy great stuff including fruit and veggies.
