variable expenses
A budget is how much money you have to spend on certain items. For example a family person can say I am not going to spend over $40 on groceries this month. If the head of household went over $40, then he/she went over their budget. An account is how much money you have in a bank to pay bills.
It happens all the time. Every department has items that would be nice to have and in fact would help the department run better. Those dreams are submitted in the budget. The budget also lists the items which are necessary to continue at last years level. Every hospital needs more equipment. Every sheriffs' department needs more cops. Every library needs more books.
When you budget for capital expenditures, you plan to buy assets. Assets include equipment and property that you expect to last more than one year. The budget for these purchases must come from cash on hand to qualify as capital budget expenditures. You must have a capital budget so you can continue to grow your business by purchasing assets that will produce income. Expenses Budgeting Your operational budget covers day-to-day expenses. This can include wages, rent, utilities and purchases of items that are intended to last less than a year. If you borrow money for capital expenditures, the expense comes out of your operational budget because you will have to service that loan with monthly payments. The operational budget tells you how much cash you need to take in each month to cover your bills.
A traditional budget is often referred to as a "static budget." A static budget is not designed to change with changes in activity level. Once sales and expenses are estimated, they become the relevant benchmarks. A flexible budget is an alternative that has some compelling advantages. It relates anticipated expenses to observed revenue. To illustrate, if a business greatly exceeded the sales goal, it is reasonable to expect costs to also exceed planned levels. After all, some items like cost of sales, sales commissions, and shipping costs are directly related to volume. How ridiculous would it be to fault the manager of the business for having cost overruns? Conversely, failing to meet sales goals should be accompanied by a reduction in variable costs. Certainly it would make no sense to congratulate a manager for holding costs down in this case! A flexible budget is one that reflects expected costs as a function of business volume; when sales rise so do certain budgeted costs, and vice versa. The flexible budget responds to changes in activity, and may provide a better tool for performance evaluation. It is driven by the expected cost behavior. Fixed factory overhead is the same no matter the activity level, and variable costs are a direct function of observed activity. When performance evaluation is based on a static budget, there is little incentive to drive sales and production above anticipated levels because increases in volume tend to produce more costs and unfavorable variances. The flexible budget-based performance evaluation provides a remedy for this phenomenon.

The most practical way to shrink a grocery budget is to cut frivolous items out of it. If that is not possible, it is feasible to print and cut coupons from circulars and websites that offer them. Some of the most dollar stretching items are rice and beans.
