I go gallon mylar. No O2 absorbers.
The salt never goes bad so long as you keep moisture out of it. I have also done 55 gallon metal barrels with plastic liner for non-food salt and it has kept for a few years (rotated out) w/o any ill effects. |

I take the smaller bags as is and vacuum pack them in my Foodsaver. That keeps the moisture out...............

My wife seals them in mason jars with the special attachment on the foods saver. Its a more manageable amount when you need to open one and actually use it.

IIRC if you put some uncooked rice in each bag, it'll absorb whatever moisture gets in with it. I'd package a tablespoon of rice in a stapled-shut piece of coffee filter. |

Back when I was in the Navy, the cooks and mess cranks would do that in the salt shakers. |

I would probably go with mylar,
but even a 1-gal bag will hold about 5lbs of salt which is quite a lot of salt. I guess you could cut them to any size you want. Most cost effective way might be some ziplock bags or foodsaver bags. We buy our salt in the 26oz. containers and store it in watertight containers. 
FYI: As mentioned, don't use O2 absorbers, unless you want salt bricks. |

I just threw a couple of large bags into a 5 gallon bucket. It works.

I do the same for salt, peppercorns, dried herbs/spices. Easily manageable and actually doesn't look to bad sitting on a shelf in the kitchen. |
