The definition is at the end of the clue.
How the clue works
Right, so animal at the end is your definition, pointing to the anteater. Start with A (that's just "a") and stick NEATER on it for "better groomed" — that gives you ANEATER. Now take the "ultimately" of Budget, which is T, and invest it inside that word to get AN-T-EATER.
