If you're looking for a pretty capable RAW development program for a budget you might want to try out Corel Aftershot Pro 2, which is on sale now for $55. (You can download a trial first to try it out.) You might be able to find the older version cheaper too.

I was able to snag the first version for almost nothing on Amazon a year ago and it's pretty useful and can do many of the things you would find in Lightroom or other editors. I now use DxO Optics Pro for better noise reduction in very low light images, but I still use Aftershot for some things since I'm more familiar with the interface and I'm still getting used to DxO.

Even if I don't change any settings, I can delete the RAW files after and my images take up less space than straight out of camera JPEG's but without losing any detail (and less noise in low light shots too).
