Help me spend FSA $$

[winecat]

Are there any OTC things that would help a rescue? I know there are some meds that dogs can take. Maybe wound/surgical incision care stuff?

I would shop here fsastore.com/. Everything there is eligible so you don't have to worry about getting something that doesn't qualify.

OTC meds require a prescription now

But first aid kits, bandaids, and sunscreen are good items that do not. Also, fancy thermometers - if you know anyone having a baby any time soon, a forehead or ear thermometer is a great gift.

You are pretty much down to the last minute here dude. You want to buy me some glasses? lol


I would get whatever you can OTC - Pain meds, tummy stuff, cough and cold/flu, allergy meds, supplements. The basic, boring adult stuff I guess. Since you can't spend FSA on fun things.

I was in the same position last year and bought prescription sunglasses from Warby Parker.

ETA: I also have half a dozen fancy thermometers for the same reason - yet I can never find one when one of us is sick.

I would go with Rx sunglasses.

I didn't realize so many things needed an Rx or a letter.

ETA- I'd probably do contacts/glasses.

I was in this same position once and got both fancy glasses and fancy sunglasses at a LensCrafters. The sunglasses were non prescription, but they have some sort of anti-glare thing on them.

They are the best damn sunglasses I've ever had.

So that's my vote.

Do you not have a run out time on your plan? While our plan ends on 8/31 we actually have 60 more days to use the money (then another 60 to submit receipts) also check with your plan and see if you can carry anything over- new rule, not sure exactly when it went into effect as I mentioned our plan isn't calendar year, but now employers can elect to allow a certain amount to rollover, I want to say up to $250? But your employer had to specifically elect to do it
