I've upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion before. Now, I'm going to Mavericks.

I'm tired of downloading these big installers every time I have to use them. The installers are deleted after using them as far as my experience is concerned.

Where can I find these installers after downloading them from the App Store so that I can copy them and use them in the future? Looking up over the internet did not help.
