If you’ve been dutifully amassing your FSA funds over the past year, heads up: You have mere days until those funds likely expire. I saw it happen, with horror, to a friend of mine last year: After waiting too long to use his FSA money, his spending deadline passed and he lost it all.
One reason for his funds expiring was how overwhelmed he felt figuring out how to spend the money while ensuring the purchase would count towards his FSA. But that’s where the FSA online store comes in handy. Everything on the site is FSA-eligible — and you’d be surprised at how comprehensive and downright luxe the FSA store is. Its offerings are truly vast, spanning mobility aids, fitness, pain relief, skin care, device sanitization and smart health technology.
Plus, one of the FSA store’s best-kept secrets is that tons of its products ship for free — and many are quietly on sale.
We’ve compiled the site’s top bestsellers, including splurge-worthy wellness devices that are futuristic in the absolute best way as well as some practical essentials. Read on for the items that a plethora of FSA users chose for themselves.
