If you have a balance remaining in a use-it-or-lose-it flex spending account, there is less than one week left in 2008. With over-the-counter drugs and first aid supplies now flex-spending eligible, there's no need to "lose it." Depending on how much you have left, you can clean out your medicine cabinet (replacing old, expired cold medicines and the like), pick up a first aid kit, even get a home defibrillator. Personally, I have been browsing drugstore.com's FSA store, seeing what is FSA eligible and gathering up receipts for things we bought earlier without realizing they were eligible. I've whittled our balance down to $26, which I'll use to restock the first aid kit before Dec. 1.
We've made a point of submitting receipts before year-end, allowing sufficient time for the administrator to process them and hopefully notify us of any non-approved claims while there's still time for us to use up our funds.
Hope you're all enjoying the holidays in good health and good cheer.
