Actually, the more I've read about this the more it seems like a huge non-story!

The budget is set for X amount, it turns out that they won't get the X amount to be able to spend it so they do some cost cutting before it's spent.

The analogy of going into Asda with £50 and buying goods of £200 is right. All that's happened is that they've got to the second aisle (realised that they're going to spend too much and decided not to put steak and salmon in the trolley). Seems quite a prudent approach to me.
