If you have a flexible spending account your FSA money is most likely use-it-or-lose it by Jan. 1. If this is the case — make sure you use it!

You don’t have to spend this money at the doctor’s office. Many products in drug stores are FSA eligible, and after purchasing them you can submit your receipt to insurance.

Some  commonly eligible items include bandages, over the counter prescriptions, contact lenses, reading glasses, sunscreen, pregnancy tests and more. Look up your company’s policy and stock up on any items you need to use up that money.

Here is some helpful information from CVS and Walgreen’s about FSA merchandise.

Tip: I know CVS tallies up all of your FSA eligible purchases at the bottom of each receipt. That can be very helpful!
