I am going to try to use my balance on my flex spending card today. New year starts tomorrow.I will buy a new glucometer kit. We will also get bread and milk as usual. Hubby went and got me new front tires as I will be driving more now. I brought an extra desk back into the office. Now I have more space for Bruno to lay on and annoy me. I will be back in a bit.

We get OTC items; but we can get them through December 31. That was nice of Bob to get you new front tires. Have a great day.

@LindaOHio They open an account for me by taking out money pre-tax. I always go for the maximum.

I have been getting my glucose test strips at Wal Mart and they have started being out of the one I need. Last time this started happening I bought a new one of their glucometers. Now I cannot get strips for it, and I hate going to Wal Mart anyway. Since I fill my prescriptions at the grocery, I got a meter and strips there.

@wolfgirl569 Exactly. They force you into buying a new model.

@GardenGerty There is no hope of that. He is a cat.

It is good to start a new year with items to monitor your health.

Is the spending card a Medicare thing?

No, this is a pretax account through my school payroll. I also have a Medicare one that I use, it is good until the end of the year. Medicare is where I got the free fitbit.
