Pizza's idea of the Sawyer was an excellent suggestion and would be one of my top recommendations as well. To hit some other categories for ideas:

Anyway, just some suggestions. Hard to get too crazy on a budget. I'm sorry I missed the exchange but I signed up to give someone who gets screwed something so I'm sure I'm gonna help someone out.
The Patrol Officers Pocket Trauma Kit | $15 + S&H is pretty nice though and a good place to start. It has gloves, Z Pak dressing, duct tape, and the reason I got it - SWAT T tourniquet. The nice thing about this tourniquet is it seems like the idiot proof tourniquet. And you can use it to just hold everything together (i.e. not completely cut off blood flow) in less serious but still serious situations.
I just bought myself an Individual Patrol Officer Kit and then decided to upgrade the included SWAT tourniquet with a CAT tourniquet
I'm a little rusty on how to apply one so I'm going to be taking a 5-6 day first responder course...
