I was unsure of how to save the leftover casings. The package said use salt, but how much salt? I guess I could have just used a metric shite ton, but I figured a few bucks wasn't worth it.

The salt is already in the solution. The package just says to refrigerate and make sure the casings stay covered by the salt. I sealed it back up well, pushing as much air out of the bag as I could. Then, I folded over the excess, taped it and put it in a ziplock bag. That way, the casings stay submerged in the solution and the bag won't leak in the fridge. 11 bucks is pretty pricey for just two casings, so I wanted to keep the remaining ones for next time.
