Check out /var/cache/apt/archives ... this is the default place apt puts
downloaded packages. apt-get autoclean will clear out old packages, apt-get
clean will delete all the packages and if you install apt-move, apt-move
update will generate a local mirror for you using the packages in
/var/cache/apt/archives. You can stick this mirror directory somewhere else
with more room ... like /home if you like.
