Emptying your flex spend account

March 15 is probably the last day (depending on the plan administrator) for shopping with your healthcare flex spend account, a tax-advantaged way to pay for healthcare expenses.  It's use it or lose it, so make sure you empty it now by spending on eligible expenses.  You can use it for many things you wouldn't have thought of:

• Prescription sunglasses



• Allergy medicine



• Sunscreen



• First Aid Kits



• Mileage & parking to/from medical services



• Condoms
