How can I install software or packages without Internet (offline)?

I have a compac presario laptop. Whenever i try to install a new ubuntu my wireless driver (broadcom) does not get installed by default. I have to install it by using Additional driver. For that i have to go to a internet cafe and connect it to a Lan.

That's really troublesome and i wonder if there is a way i can save my installed softwares like my drivers, Vlc,mp3 codecs .etc so that i don't have to connect to internet everytime i do a fresh install of Ubuntu.

Any help will be greatly appreciated .

Thanks and regards Kishlay Mishra

Copy the packages from /var/cache/apt/archives onto something like a usb.

Open file manager in new installation as root, as soon as you have finished - close the file manager.

gksudo /var/cache/apt/archives

Copy them there.

Update from a terminal 

sudo apt-get update

Package should be there for you to use.
