I've mostly just used Bitrefill to buy gift cards for online purchases while I'm at home. I've done it for Amazon, REI, and most recently paid for my Southwest flight for the Thanksgiving holiday by buying a gift card for the exact amount of the purchase when I'm ready to pay.
For a little while I was trying to use Bitrefill to pay for food purchases when out of the house, but it was too much of a hassle. I mostly pay for stuff like that with cash now. Also I prefer to go to smaller local businesses when I'm eating out rather than big corporate chains.
I recently paid for my VPN with Bitcoin. Unfortunately they do not accept LN payments yet though. I like that I was able to do this without giving them any personal information at all.
Other than that I've made a few donations with Bitcoin to worthy causes.
I've been trying to find a local business that accepts Bitcoin, but have not had any luck. If I could find a taco shop that was convenient that accepts Bitcoin I would go there all the time.
Also almost all spending is followed by an immediate purchase of more Bitcoin so my stack never goes down.
Sounds like you have it dialled.
Can i ask what VPN service you are using? I plan to change mine shortly.
