Don't Forget about your FSA (Flexible Spending Accounts)
I got a wonderful reminder that I still have money left in my flex spending account for the year. Ok, not so wonderful reminder, my daughter has an ear infection and my husband has strep throat. The good news out of all this was I filled their scripts at CVS and got a $25 gift card for each prescription (paid with prior gift cards from scripts) One prescription only cost ~ $9 and the other was ~ $22, so still ahead I guess. Now I will submit these for reimbursement with my flexible spending account at work. Don't forget you can accrue expenses on most accounts through December 31st but you have until March to submit those receipts. For those with FSA accounts, remember, if you don't USE the money you LOSE the money. Now is the time to stock up on contact solution, extra contacts, over the counter meds you might be low on, I believe even heating pads count. Might be a good time to check your balance and make sure you make use of all that money! You have 5 more days to get your purchases made!

Hi ZM. How do you get a gift card for each prescription?
I had a crt coupon for one of the prescriptions and the other one I used a Walgreens transferred prescription coupon. My CVS will accept competitor prescription coupons for gift cards. I got the Walgreens coupon in the newspaper several weeks ago.
Hi zm just wanted to say I found $1 cpns for nabisco cookies or crackers at kroger 5 oz or larger. Well cvs has 5/$5 small boxes this week all ranging from 5.25 oz to 8 oz. I had 10 cpns. I got 20 boxes(plenty left on the shelf)1 tide used $5 off $25,$1 for tide and 10 for the cookies. Used a 5.98 ecb and paid $3.90oop!!Also went to walgreens and did the robitussin deal got back the $10 rr and 2 $5 rr's as was posted.That was a mm with the $2 ips.Didn't know where to post this hope someone can benefit from it.
Thanks Stripes(Doreen) for the info. I saw the deal on Robitussin/Dimetapp but have not made it out yet. Hopefully it will still be working tommorrow when I take kiddos to school. I will have to keep an eye out for those Nabisco coupons!
