I know there's transaction fees etc, but I read about 'Change' as well, is this something different? See below for what it was defined as:

Change

Let’s say you are spending $1.90 in your local super market, and you give the cashier $2.00. You will get back .10 cents in change. The same logic applies to bitcoin transactions. Bitcoin transactions are made up of inputs and outputs. When you send bitcoins, you can only send them in a whole “output.” The change is then sent back to the sender.

Thanks

Change is refereed to inputs and outputs of a single transaction. So the more inputs and outputs you have the bigger the transaction is in size which could result in a higher fee. But for this particular case you don't have to worry much about it.
