When people think of their HSA or FSA card, they usually think of things like dental work, doctor’s co-pays, prescription medications, and other related things.
In reality, these tax-advantaged cards can be used for almost anything medical-related, so one TikToker asked her followers what ‘unhinged’ things they have used them for, and the commenters didn’t disappoint.
She made a simple video about it with the caption that said, “I’m bored, tell me your most unhinged FSA/HSA approved purchase.”
That’s an interesting question.

The caption went on, “I’m not talking about sunscreen – but something worth adding an extra $1000 to my account next year.”
I didn’t even know sunscreen counted, so I’m already learning new things.
