Ran into a guy at a bus station in Boise who had a crazy money-saving trick

I was waiting for a Greyhound in Boise last winter and this older guy next to me pulled out a thermos of soup he made at his hostel. He said he saves about $40 a week by making meals in bulk and carrying them in stainless steel containers. Then he showed me his itinerary - he books flights on Tuesdays around 2am because that's when airlines drop their low prices. I asked if he ever got caught with the soup at security, and he just laughed and said "they never check food if it's in a thermos." Has anyone else tried booking flights at weird hours like that?

I read somewhere that booking at 2am works because the computer systems update then.

Bet airlines have people watching those Tuesday 2am drops too.
