End of FSA Season. What to buy?

FSA? I didn't think anyone still fell for that crap. Don't they offer you an HSA?

Anyhow, as to your original question, I got nothing. Sorry.

Well yeah.

Those who do not know what FSA is: For those of us who have medical expenses that aren't covered by health insurance (Military does not have very good Dental or Optical insurance for dependents.) My significant other, has Flexible Spending Account, through her employer which she elects a certain amount of her income every year to be tax free, for medical expenses. This money if not used throughout the year goes to the government if not used. You can use it on various medical treatments, as well as supplies (gauze, band-aids etc.) I don't want that left-over money to go to the government, so it will be utilized in shelf-stable prepping supplies.

Hence why I am looking for ideas on what to purchase. for first aid stuff.

Fell for it? I guess it depends on what you use it for. I opted into an FSA for the first time last month; I'm going to use for laser eye surgery next year. Saves me a hell of a lot in taxes versus just paying cash that has already been taxed once.

Uh yeah. I used every penny I put into my FSA this year around the end of October. It's a good way to save money on federal income taxes if you know you're going to spend the money. With all of my wife's prescriptions and dental issues, I wish I could put MORE into FSA.
