There is no absolute way to get over the fees as it's the miners who control them and they don't care for end users, all they care is for their profits, so even with increasing prices you can't expect lower fees, however you can try your luck at various hours I once got a fee of 1.75$ for a transaction of 1400$ so it all depends on how well you can try your luck and that's how I am going about this days. Plus if you have small transactions then keep money in ether or bcc.
