When you save as a jpeg, behind the scene, the program is compressing the image, removing any bits it can in order to reduce the file size without losing picture quality.
And you'd probably have to do this 10 or 20 times before you noticed any degredation. There are many compelling reasons to shoot RAW, but I don't think reducing jpg compression is one of them.
