From my own experience, waiting for discounts can make a noticeable difference, especially when you’re managing a limited budget. Last year, I needed to upgrade my IDEs for several projects, and I found some useful offers through
JetBrains. By using the discount, I could afford multiple licenses without cutting corners on the features I needed. I also paired it with reviewing which plugins and add-ons I actually use, which helped me avoid unnecessary costs. For freelancers or students, these small savings can accumulate quickly, and planning purchases around promotions really helps make the investment worthwhile.
