Budget is always a concern because it always seems we are running low on funds. In order to make the most of the funding we get, I prioritize watching waste. The less we waste, the more we have. If we are running over budget, I have a list of non-essentials that get cut first and then a list of items where we can reduce costs. For example, there may be a certain type of gloves my staff prefer, but they cost more than the standard type. If the budget gets tight, we order the standard type for a while to get costs down.
