Yes, it is possible to save a significant amount of money on Priceline.
Choose as wide a geographical range as possible - tick all the areas that could possibly work for you. Don't forget that public transport makes practically any location workable in cities like London and Paris.
The deals are better at the highest end - saving 40% on a 4-star hotel is definitely doable, savings at the lower end are more modest. If you are on a really tight budget, you'll probably do better with hostels than Priceline.
Some areas are just hard (like NYC) - Priceline will get you something manageable rather than exorbitant, but it can't get you cheap, because cheap isn't to be had.
Great deals are also to be had in airport hotels. If you are somewhere where there is public transport between the airport and your destination, and you can afford the extra time it takes to commute, you can save a pile of money. Eg you can stay near CDG and take the RER to Paris. Of course, make sure the train cost + cheap hotel is less than the pricier hotel.
