If you are worried about transaction fee and want to do everything to spend less on it then you may want to use (at least for part of your BTC) some online wallet like Xapo.

They will pay transaction fees for you - if you are sending many transactions everyday, then it actually might be a viable solution.

What? I will have to manually check the current fee each time?
U may also manually create Tx at https://coinb.in. Otherwise use some smart wallet, that'll take all the pains from U, e.g. https://copay.io, https://greenaddress.it or https://block.io.

How doesn't bitcoind have a simple way to create a likely sussessful tx ?

BitcoinD is great as a node and may be a highly secured wallet as well. But, for handy operations, I think the ones I stated above are better. At the end of the day, it is your choice what you are comfortable with.

Ok, but how can i know that the fees are 4x higher than a week ago? I am using bitcoind to create the transactions, do i need to rely on 3rd party APIs to estimate the fee that will include my txs in the next block?

Relying on https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx is the best way I may suggest u for now.

I had a transaction I sent yesterday morning not complete until this afternoon. Almost 24 hours later.
The tx fee was not enough I think it was 0.00009btc for a 7.87mbtc.
It was the longest I ever had to wait for a send to ever complete before.

0.0002814 BTC is too low for 1108 byte. As per https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx, u were supposed to pay 0.0007 BTC for confirmation in the next block.

Thanks, but usually a tx takes 220 bytes, why did this one take 1108 bytes?

That transaction is big because you have 7 inputs (see here). You'd only see one input in most 220~ bytes transaction.

According to http://bitcoinfees.21.co/ it's less than ok. The site says the recommended fee are 90 satoshi per byte, yours is 25.39 satoshi (28140sat/1108byte) per byte.
