Invest in a health savings account
For those unaware, a Health Savings Account (HSA) is a type of savings account where you can direct funds, tax-free, straight from your paycheck for the purpose of paying medical expenses. But what might slip under the radar is the fact that you can use your HSA card to skip out on taxes for a whole host of over-the-counter convenience store products, including contact lens solution, sunscreen, laxatives, condoms, fertility tests, bandages, hot patches, cold patches, shoe insoles, and lip balm. In other words: pretty much everything except Advil.
