Your flexible spending account (FSA) funds are about to expire soon (or within your rollover period—confirm with your employer). Now’s the perfect time to check your medicine cabinet, jot down essentials, and start adding items to your cart.
The FSA store is a great option for maximizing your leftover funds, but major retailers like Amazon, Target, and Walgreens also provide dedicated FSA/HSA Shops to help you easily locate eligible products.
A Guide to Purchasing FSA-Eligible Products on Amazon
Discover how to make the most of Amazon’s FSA-eligible products before the year ends.
1. Head to Amazon’s FSA Store by visiting amazon.com/fsa
2. Identify products marked with the "FSA/HSA Eligible" tag on their listings
3. Apply the FSA/HSA filter to narrow down your search results
4. Complete your purchase using your FSA debit card during checkout
Similarly, Target offers an FSA filter in their healthcare category, while pharmacies such as CVS and Walgreens provide specialized online FSA stores.
What you can purchase with your leftover FSA funds
A wide range of over-the-counter medicines and health-related products qualify for FSA spending, such as cold remedies, bandages, oral hygiene items, feminine care products, and more. Additionally, you can consider:
First aid essentials (bandages, antibiotic creams)
Over-the-counter drugs
Contact lenses and cleaning solutions
Prescription glasses
Sunscreen products
Pain management medications
Blood pressure monitoring devices
COVID-19 testing kits
Remember, most FSA plans require you to use your funds by December 31, though some may offer grace periods. Confirm the exact deadlines with your plan administrator. Always keep receipts for FSA purchases to validate eligibility if needed.
