why has the bitcoin fee for each transaction recently been so high?
It was easier to send 10-15 usd before but these days the fees are more than that.
Any wallet which takes less fee?Im fine with delayed confirmation.

No wallet take less fee. The wallets help to tweak the transaction fee in order that your transaction gets confirmed in as few blocks as possible according to the current rate hence the high transaction fee. Even if you are fine with delayed confirmation you still need to pay some fee all the same. The last transaction I did of $47 last Tuesday, I paid $3 as transaction fee (low priority) and the transaction was only confirmed this morning. The wait was not worth it for me.
