When I download a package from Synaptic, where does Ubuntu store the install files, if at all? Bandwidth is limited in my country, and I would like to download programs only once and back them up for future use.

Packages are stored in /var/cache/apt/archives/. I suggest using APTonCD 

sudo apt-get install aptoncd

for backing them up to a CD or DVD. You can then use this disk as an offline repository.
