If you have a basement window and the softener is in the open, you have a way
to fill it without lugging the salt bags so far. Make a salt chute from some
ABS drain pipe and funnel it in through a window. :) Then all you have to move
in and out of the house is the lightweight plastic pipe, which could be fit
together in sections. If you can't get enough slope to the top of the softener,
drop it down to a bin and use a scoop, or a miniaturized copy of a grain auger
to fill it.

Chuckle. I'd like to think so, but I've not been that good to me over
the years, and that pick up 200 lbs & walk it across town if it needs to
go attitude has caught up with me, darnit. The Missus, w/o mentioning
why, had me disable our water softener about 3 years ago. We can afford
the salt. But I think she wanted to remove the struggle of me handling 2
to 4 40lb bags of salt thru the house & down a flight of stairs when it
needed refilled. And while I won't claim I can cast nails out of it, it
is a little hard. OTOH, the human body needs the trace elements in hard
water.
