In the end I subscribed to so many digital services that I made a tool for collecting email receipts for bookkeeping...

If you think it's worth one more subscription to cut down the work bookkeeping for all the other subscriptions, then check out receiptrunner.com

There's something to this. I recently changed my credit card number due to some fraud activity. Since the change there has been a number of services I no longer use, but that I had completely forgot about popping up asking me to update my info.

If you use American Express, they actually update things for you, or continue accepting the old number for specific recurring billings where they don't have the system in place to update the number.

You can partially solve this with something like privacy.com. That's what I'm using after cancelling my credit card (lost) and getting a new number.

macOS has a cool built-in feature for collecting receipts: Go to "File > Print..." and then in the lower left pulldown that says "PDF", select "Save to Web Receipts", it will save a PDF to a folder called "Web Receipts" in your "Documents" folder. Works for both website receipts and email receipts.
