Dang! We do a buy 2 at $5.99 and get a free one. That makes 'em $3.99 each.

Did they sell you a superlite or latex one? Those can be pricier, but for basic butyl, they should've given you at least a couple.

I am also assuming that you installed it yourself...

We do boxes of 50 for 2.49 a tube. There are guys around here that dole them out to their buddies at Christmas time....cheap stocking stuffers!

On topic though, sometimes we patch odd sized tubes, but it's hard to guarantee work on a tube that might be about to have other problems...
