To save a little money, buy some patch kits at the dollar store. Throw away the thick patches and keep the glue. HillRider is right about it drying in the tube right away. I only get to use it once, that's why I don't buy it at the bike store for three dollars.
I do, though, usually keep some of the thick patches for kids on the bike path when they have a flat on their xmart bike. (I get to promote helmet safety while patching their flat.)
