I use Vacu Vin Containers. Usually the tinted ones, but if we have a lot of beans, we end up having to dip into the clear ones. :D They do a fantastic job of extending the life of the beans.

I like the Vacuvin Coffee Saver.
Two pulls on the pump will make it air tight for certain, and if you really want to prolong the shelf life of your coffee you can pump all of the air out. The plastic container is not clear, but tinted to prevent light based degradation.
One comment on tightvac. With their name they try to make you think it creates a vacuum.
In fact it's just a tight closing like many plastic containers. When you press on the button, you allow the air from the lid to exit while you push it in (otherwise you would not be able to close it. Try without pressing on the button).
Once it's closed, you are at atmospheric pressure inside. If you try to open it by pulling without pressing on the button you will have a depression while pulling (more volume, same quantity of gas).
If you really want something with vacuum, the best I have found so far is the Vacuvin which comes with a pump and you really store coffee under low pressure/vacuum (=less O2 molecule available to oxidise the coffee).
This looks promising:

Based on the Amazon reviews this would be a good choice. I'm a little surprised that the container is clear, as I have heard that light also degrades coffee.
The Vacu Vin Coffee Saver works extremely well at keeping my beans fresh!
The hand pump requires a little effort on your part, but it's is well worth the extended shelf life. I was amazed at how fresh my coffee smells/tastes even after a month! Plus, the tinted plastic protects the coffee from the harmful effects of light.
I've got this
I use it for whole beans, but I bet it's good for ground coffee, too.
On a side note, you could check for a local roaster who'll deliver coffee to you. They'll grind the coffee right before they send it out.
Buying coffee from the store, who know how long they've been sitting in that condition.
I have a couple Vacu Vin storage containers I use to store my roasted beans (only grind as needed). Works great as the number one enemy to roasted coffee is oxygen.
It uses the same vacuum pump/stopper you can get for wine bottles.
I do second-runs too but it's a bad idea to do it ontop of the oil from the first run. It's best to use a new pyrex or scrape out the first run before the second.
I've tried a few vac methods. I'm not gonna buy a $200 pump so instead I bought a VacuVin. it does the job pretty well but since it doesn't pull hard enough (I need ~30lbs, I'm getting around 25lbs) it requires 2-4 rounds of vac-purges to get everything out.
