"We've got some changes this summer and we have to spend our money wisely and don't overspend it," Tisdale told BBC Sport.
"It comes down to value for money, it comes down to performance and it comes down to potential performance."
Tisdale says he will focus on bringing some of the crop of young players through at the club, many of whom have made an impact on the first team this season.
"The whole point of the last six months is we've established into the team the likes of Matt Grimes, David Wheeler, Tom Nicholls, Jordan Moore-Taylor and Christy Pym.
"There's a number of players now who are established as first-team players, so the benefit of what we've been through, albeit a risky business, was to give those players well over 100 games between them.
"We have to think very long and hard about the squad we put together, we rarely have an opportunity to refresh things during the season so we have to put a lot of thought into the season ahead and the potential for development and progression."
