I had to look and see if I had replied already in this thread, but it appears it was a different thread on the same subject.

I shoot in RAW + JPG. Why? Because I can do a quick glance through the .jpg files to see which ones are worth keeping; with RAW files, I'd have to open each & every one of them in photoshop, and that would take far too long. Plus, I don't necessarily want to post-process every single shot.

If I keep the photo, I'll keep both the .jpg and the RAW file - I may not want to play with it now, but I might want to play with it later. Yes, it takes up more space on the memory card (I use a 2GB, which means I get about 100 total photos), but that just means I either 1) carry a spare card with me, and/or 2) get more selective on which photos I take, and make sure I spend the time to properly compose them.
