My flight cost dropped by $180 after I changed my search day

I was looking at flights to Denver for a trip in October. On a Tuesday, the cheapest round trip I could find was about $380. I almost booked it, but I remembered a tip about checking on different days. So I waited and looked again on Thursday morning. The exact same flight, same times, was suddenly $200. I couldn't believe it. In my experience, the day you search can really change the price, not just the day you fly. I think airlines update their prices mid-week. I saved enough for a couple of nice meals out there. Has anyone else seen a big price drop just by checking back on a different weekday?

You saved a whole $180 just by waiting?

Remember that prices can also change within the same day.
