Sometimes when I withdraw BTC to my wallet, I set really low fees like 50-70 satoshi per byte and wait for weeks, because I'm not going to spend those coins in the near future anyway. I think it's a good way to save a bit of money, because if you look back, you might realize that your fees have added up to a big amount in USD value, while it wasn't always necessary to get those coins confirmed asap.
So, do you use low fees, or always want to get confirmation in a next few blocks?
Isn't 50-70 sat per byte extremely low fees? They are going to take ages to confirm. I usually pay up high fees when doing any kind of transactions, don't feel like waiting. I once had an transaction with 296.011 sat per byte. It took almost 4 days to confirm. How long does it take to confirm with 50 sat/b fee?So, do you use low fees, or always want to get confirmation in a next few blocks?
My 65 sat/byte (also, it had 2.2 kB size) took 2 weeks to confirm and it arrived today.
I always use 30 satoshi per byte and i'm letting Jihan BU to pay the rest on my behalf. Viabtc's free service does the job very well. 
Paying >200satoshi/byte started to hurt me very badly. I have to move my coins from one address to another from time to time because those small incomes which i collect from here and there create many inputs in time and i don't want to look at a 100$ fee in some day.

That's exactly my thoughts, today's 2 mBTC might be "only" $5 (which is already too much for transactions under $500), but if Bitcoin will cost $20 000 in 10-15 years, at that point the amount of fees paid by average Bitcoin user can easily be worth a few thousands USD or more.
