About the only thing you can do is use a wallet that allows the setting of custom fees and try to be more aware of the network status at the time you go to send a transaction...
Hi @HCP,
Well, in fact I didn't touch the wallet since 2017. Between 2016 an 2017, I made many transactions. Now when I am looking at the history of multibit HD in the panel, I don't see any fees https://snipboard.io/zsugFD.jpg. This screen capture is today.
When I export the csv file from multibit HD, I have these 'transactions fees that appear', I don't really understand because I didn't notice these fees in 2016-2017. https://snipboard.io/VqDgCs.jpg
The only transaction I made since this period was with BRD 2 weeks ago, and they have a mode slow (=low fees), and it was transparent. No huge amount.
So where these fees come from, I don't know.
I have to admit, it's quite technical for me. In 2017, I didn't know nothing about bitcoin. And I still don't know so much.

https://mempool.space/ and https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#BTC,24h,weight give good overviews of the current state of the network and with a bit of practice you can determine a "decent" rate that will suit your purposes (ie. cheapest option, don't care about how long it takes to confirm vs. must be next confirmed in next block etc).
I thank you very much for this information. It will help me.

by occasionally consolidating your inputs when the network is not busy
I am gonna try to understand this.
If you have time and if you want to have a look at the csv file, you can give me your mail, no matter for me.
You are a great help since the beginning but I have to confess I am still in the smog. I should follow a course on the blockchain
