Product Details
2" x 3" x 2" pouch
19" x 16" x 6" bag unfolded
The reuseit™ Workhorse 1501 is a new look version of the customer favorite reuseit™ Workhorse 1500. Its unique design is based on the classic plastic shopping bag but it is made of iridescent nylon mesh that is incredibly strong, super lightweight and stylish. Weighs less than 1.5 oz yet can hold over 25 lbs.
Each ultra-compact pouch opens into a heavy-duty, water and mildew resistant sack that is a roomy 19"x 16" x 6". In addition to using it as a shopping bag, its quick-dry, breathable fabric is perfect for outdoor activities (e.g. beach bag). Best of all it's see-through - especially handy for finding items quickly.
The reuseit™ Workhorse has a truly innovative feature; it folds into its own mini-sack attached inside the bag. Once stuffed into its pouch, it measures a mere 2" x 3" x 2", easily fitting into the palm of your hand and small enough to stash in a purse or pocket so you will always have one handy. It is impossible to lose the storage pouch since it's attached to the bag.

Best bag of all tried
I have probably a dozen different type of reusable bags and these are by far the most verisatile and are very durable. I don't just haul the groceries home in them but put my veggies and fruit in them, check them through, and haul them all in the same bag. Wonderful!

A note to all you reusable bag lovers - I have asked my grocery store chain to start selling these bags rather than the bulky, dirt accumulating kind that most grocery stores peddle... and hope that you will do the same!

Love my bags...
I have been using the same 2 bags for a few years now and absolutely love them. I load them up so full, the newer checkout clerks always get nervous when they see me put so much stuff in. Today I brought home in one bag a 1/2 gal. milk carton, a few cans of soup, a large tub of yogourt, a couple of large oranges, a bunch of grapes, several tangerines, a tub of hummus, cookies and fish from the deli, a couple of tomatos, some presliced / packaged pineapple, a pound of pasta, and a couple of bars of cheese -- all in one bag. No tears in my bags after all this time and regular use as described above. They don't even strain under the weight (my back is the only thing straining). I love the mesh because it stretches to have such a large carrying capacity, and also because it makes the clerks watching self-checkout lanes more comfortable as I bag stuff in my own bags. Plus, they stay clean (I don't even put my produce in plastic or any other kind of bag - just directly on top of the other stuff in my workhorse.) The convenience of size allows me to keep them in my purse, which means I don't forget to bring them into the store. People ask me all the time where I get them and I always refer them back to reusablebags.com.

I love mine so much I give them as gifts
0 out of 1 customers found this review helpful
the summary says it all. I have purchased over 20 of these lightweight, extremely durable bags, most of them to give away! The only thing to know is that they are so strong that sometimes I overload them...not good for my back, but the bags never complain!

I love this bag!
I love this bag! I use it in some way every day. I use it for the regular uses as well as a trick or treat bag for my daughter and lending it to a friend to prevent them from using a plactic bag. It is so easy to keep in my purse, pull out when I need it, and put it away way when I am done.

These bags are amazing
These bags are amazing. They are small and easy to store in my car so I don't forget them when I'm shopping at any time. You can stuff them in a purse or a pocket at the mall. The bags expand to hold a surprising amount and they are extremely strong. I can usually fit even a large grocery shop into just three bags. I have received several comments from clerks on the overall utility of the bag and I personally would not recommend another over this one!

I received a free Acme Workhorse mesh bag with an order of over $50 and within a few weeks of use, a number of holes appeared. The bag is very light, compact when folded and spacious when open, but I'm disappointed with the weakness of the fabric.

Compact and durable
Compact and durable. After more than three years of daily use as a shopping, grocery and lunch bag, it\'s just showing a little wear at the handle.

I ordered several Envirosax bags and received the ACME black mesh workhorse bag as a free sample. I was amazed at how flimsy and small the bag was. Also, the openings in the handles were so tiny that my husband couldn't even hold the bag comfortably. I would not choose to purchase this item. (The Envirosax bags were terrific, however!)

These bags are very compact and fit into their sewn-on case, so you can put them in a purse or pocket and always have them handy. I don't like the feel of the fabric, though, and they are see-through mesh, so there's no privacy for carrying your items.

Love this bag
Love this bag. Super compact, flexible, hard wearing. My only suggestion is a long-handled version, because I walk home from the grocery store and it's easier to put the bags over my shoulders. Other than that, it's pretty much perfect. I use it almost every day.
