I am looking for a feat that gives extra spells/day (not extra spells known), for an arcanist. Expanded Preparation give you extra spells prepared, but I want more spells to cast each day. Does anyone know of such a feat?

For an arcanist you are looking for a Runestone of Power or a Ring of Wizardry.
Featwise, sorry. No such luck.

Spell storing weapons/armor can let you use a spell slot from an earlier day today.
In general the feat you want to do this will be one of the item creation feats. There are several items which effectively give you more spells/day, especially scrolls, wands or staves. Just pick a preferred method - assuming you're not playing in PFS, anyway.

This question again?
Maybe some 3rd party material does this, but nothing by Paizo in the way of feats.
The simplest and by far the most cost-efficient method for any Int-based spellcaster to gain more spells per day is a headband of vast intelligence.
Otherwise the only other way without paying gp and feats is for GM fiat to arrange for a specific minor artifact to be acquired by the arcanist which permits preparing spells as if they have an Int score of 6 higher than actual. Flavor-text scrubbed off, this is a sihedron tome. If you're playing on Golarion, so far exactly one is available. It's the personal property of the BBEG of the Rise of the Runelords Adventure Path, so the arcanist will have to go pry it from his cold, dead hands. If your campaign has already concluded that AP - and the current owner is, for some unfathomable reason, willing to part with it for mere gold - the price tag probably runs about 250,000 gp. Much more is certainly possible as an asking price.
After that scrolls are generally the most gp-efficient method.

There is one feat (Arcade discovery actually) That almost does this. It's called split slot. It's good if you are high-ish level and want to cast lots of a specific lower level spell.
What it does is it takes a spell slot and divides it into 2 spell slots 2 levels lower. You can take the feat as many times as you like and split as many original spell slots as you like (you can't split a split slot).
This should give you an idea of how much the system values spells per day. I'd say it's worth it to split slots 5th and above, but know that you are sacrificing power for sustainability somewhat.
As an arcane discovery it's wizard exclusive.
There are a bunch of items though that can help. A bunch. Rings of wizardry, pearl of power. Amulet of cunning, Amulet of spell mastery, and pretty much any staff.

archanists can get wizard discoveries, vmc will also net a wizard discovery

would be better if it was a pool of abilities and you had to give up 3 feats minimum 5 feats max and you would get a class ability for each feat given up

Only things I can think of is a mythic ability and the sihedron tome. The ability may be 3rd party where you take it for 4 extra spells of your lowest level, can be taken multiple times not stacking e.g. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. There's also the Sihedron tome that gives you extra spells as if your int were 6 higher. Given one's a mythic ability and the others an artifact I doubt there's anything in normal game play that would do this.
