Default End of the year..need to spend FSA monies!

So I have almost $1k I need to use or lose.

I've already purchased a home defibrillator. I am thinking some higher end first aid kits.

I'm a bit overwhelmed by what is actually FSA eligible on Amazon, Walgreens, Walmart, and Target, not to mention some online stores that specialize on FSA stuff.

A few years ago I had the same problem. I also really wanted a Pelican cooler so I called AB First Aid in Boise and had them sell me a first aid kit in a Pelican Cooler case

Or buy another defibrillator and donate it to your church, daycare, school, etc... and take the tax write off. Or eBay it

Couple pairs of shooting glasses, or have your primary doc write a prescription for sessions of therapeutic massage for sore back

It would be wrong - dead wrong to go to Costco and buy $1,000of hard contact lense solution, photocopy the receipt and then immediately return the product.

You have both the receipt and a credit card charge to present


That would be fraud and would be bad M-kay

Hmmm...good ideas about the first aid kit in a pelican Cooler case.

I also like the donating part. Didn't think of that.

Great idea on the prescription shooting glasses! I will get some for myself and the family as well as prescription sunglasses. That might use up all the funds right there.

Typically you get a few months into next year to fully spend.

Anything that has 'first aid kit' somewhere in the description will pass through review easily, but I've bought stuff like suture kits, blood pressure cuff, chest seals, saline, etc. mymedic.us bought several kits from there and the receipts easily went through my FSA submissions. I bought the mymedic 'recon, 'shield', 'suture kit', 'myfak', and random supplies all getting reimbursed
