How to get the most out of an FSA

💰 What's an FSA?! An FSA is essentially a savings account. Money is removed from your paychecks and isn't taxed, which allows you to save on certain expenses. FSAs are offered through an employer — you won't find them with Medicare, Medicaid, or plans available on the Health Insurance Marketplace.

👀 What can you spend this money on? People typically use these funds to pay for dependent care costs (like preschool, day care, and summer camp) or out-of-pocket health care, which can include copayments and deductibles.

🤯 But wait, there's more … What people usually forget is that an FSA can also be used to buy a wide variety of health and wellness products! Some of the most popular things people get with these leftover savings include:

over-the-counter medications
home medical devices
prescription sunglasses
contact lenses
dental treatments
birth control
menstrual products
pregnancy and fertility testing
sunscreen

Finally ready to invest in a Theragun? What about a new fitness tracker? Or, perhaps you want to stock up on first aid supplies. We rounded up a ton of FSA-eligible products for you below. (Just be sure to buy before December 31.)
