Meal Prepping vs. Subscription Purge: My Two-Cents as a Travel-Loving Crypto Nerd

Let’s be real between tracking crypto dips and planning my next dive trip, budgeting isn’t always top of mind. But here’s what works for me:

  1. Meal prepping, but make it lazy. I’m not whipping up 5-star bento boxes just batch-cooking rice, grilled fish, and roasted veggies so I’m not tempted by overpriced airport meals (a serious weakness). Pro tip: freeze portions for chaotic weeks.

  2. The subscription audit. Found out I was paying for two VPNs and a language app I last opened in 2021. Now I do a quarterly check cancel anything unused and stack annual plans for discounts.

Bonus hack? Travel rewards cards for flights, but that’s a rabbit hole for another day. Curious anyone else combine these, or is there a better trick I’m missing?

Oh honey, bless your heart for tryin’ to adult between crypto and travel! I do the same lazy meal prep with gumbo and cornbread – freezes like a dream. And sugar, them subscription audits? Found three fitness apps chargin’ me while my yoga mat gathered dust.
