Can I buy the item at Costco, for example, where I can get 100 for $30 and use that receipt for reimbursement? I can't think of why not, but I wanted to check because I plan to order $100 worth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/extra-fsa-what-can-i-buy#post-1289899 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 17:18:39 +0000 deerylou 1289899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could you make a care package for a homeless or women's crisis center? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/extra-fsa-what-can-i-buy#post-1289834 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 16:43:36 +0000 bunnylove08 1289834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>contact solution and contact cases!

It has a FSA section. The items are marked eligible and if they need a RX that's noted as well.<br /> You can also order directly from that site as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/extra-fsa-what-can-i-buy#post-1289791 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 16:27:58 +0000 BSB 1289791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, if you have any receipts from pharmacy or doctors visits, you could submit them for reimbursement. </p> <p>I have a debit card for FSA and there's one Dr's office that does not take credit cards (or maybe they don't take FSA cards) so I have to pay cash or check. I then submit those bills for reimbursement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/extra-fsa-what-can-i-buy#post-1289766 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 16:16:10 +0000 savanarunner 1289766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would also double check that you don't have a grace period.

One year I had extra money and ended up getting some skin care items. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/extra-fsa-what-can-i-buy#post-1287143 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 16:09:30 +0000 sunny 1287143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I believe any optometrist's office can sell you non-prescription sunglasses (intended to protect contact wearer's eyes :wink: ) and have it count towards FSA or an insurance hardware allowance. Though I'd make sure that it does before you purchase them.</p> <p>I got a free pair of Coach sunglasses this way because I didn't need a new pair of glasses last year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/extra-fsa-what-can-i-buy#post-1287126 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 16:00:54 +0000 jetsa 1287126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: ohh I'll look into that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/extra-fsa-what-can-i-buy#post-1287097 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 15:52:53 +0000 regberadaisy 1287097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: ps if you go to Lenscrafter you can buy non prescription sunglasses. ;) DH and I both have nice polarized Revos and Maui Jims because of leftover (free) FSA $! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/extra-fsa-what-can-i-buy#post-1287090 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 15:51:16 +0000 BSB 1287090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glasses/ sunglasses/ contacts, pregnancy tests, allergy meds (claritin) (oh, I think you need a dr to write you a prescription for the allergy meds so you can get reimbursed.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/extra-fsa-what-can-i-buy#post-1287063 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 15:45:40 +0000 regberadaisy 1287063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: Lenscrafter!
