reuseit Workhorse, "World's Smallest Shopping Set", 4 bags

Love this product, 4 bags in one little bag, fits in my small purse w/o a problem. No returning back to the car after just having gone into a store because of forgotten bags, they are right there in my purse, each bag folded in a little tiny 'envelope' when not in use easy to fold back, and the best the pouch to put the bag in is attached to the actual bag.
Love the product!!! Dagmar Rafferty

I'm happy to report the bags arrived on friday, and we had occasion to use half of them in the field yesterday. They work very well, much better than any of the other re-useable bags we've been able to find locally.

I'm sorry to report though they're not as good as the Safeway Environmental Options Kin-pack bags we are looking to replace. We received half a dozen of these twenty years ago as a gift. We've been using them at least once a week ever since. We didn't treat them nicely, at least not until a few years ago when it became apparent replacing them would be difficult or impossible.

Where the reuseit bags don't come to the same standard as the kin-pack bags:

The kin-pack bottom has pleats and folds out much like the traditional paper bag, making it easier to hold things like milk cartons and cereal boxes. It is more likely to stay standing up in the back of the car and not slump over on a turn.

Pouch is too small, I can only use 2 fingers when re-stuffing the bag. It still works fine, but it takes just that little bit extra bit of care and attention, and consequent frustration if I'm in a hurry (which is common when unloading from a shopping trip with hungry kids underfoot).

The pouch and bag are too closely matched in size, if the pouch were just a smidgen larger in each dimension it would be easier to stuff the bag in. It reminds me of the backpacking tent we have where one has to fold the tent and fly "just so" or else the bag can't be zipped up and one has to start over. Whereas the kids' tent has a roomier bag and the folds don't need to be as precise. They both take the same amount of room in the end, because the larger bag gets compressed when stuffed in the pack (or in one's pocket, in the case of a shopping bag).

So all in all I'm generally happy with the bags we received. They are head and shoulders above anything else I can find currently on the market. It's just that I've had better. ;-)

I have several of these to keep in my purse or car. This group I bought for gifts.

These bags are not only pretty but hold a lot. I love the larger handles on the side. Only wish I had gotten two sets!

The World's Smallest Shopping Bag Set, 4 bags, is excellent. I only have two problems with them. 1.) They are way too expensive. 2.) They sometimes disappear at checkout in the super market and then I had to buy another set. See #1).

I love these bags! I buy more if I lose them because they take forever to wear out.

I received these along with my order of Lunchskins. I love them! They easily fit into my purse or bag so I have them on hand for spur of the moment shopping trips- or when I forget to load my larger reusable bags, and for helping carry all the random things that come along with my kids. Great Product!

I love how small they fold up. The checkout girl complimented them the other day, about how cute and small they were before I opened them, where other customers bags were big and cumbersome in a pile, that mine were great!

Small enough that I can just leave them in the bottom of my purse and I always have them with me.

Only used them a few times so far, but they seem very durable, and I love the fact that they can be washed as well.

These bags are absolutely great. I have used them nearly everyday since I bought them. Their small size means that I can easily keep one in my jacket pocket at all times and the other three in my car. They are perfect for the bag racks at self checkout lines in grocery stores and home improvement stores. The bags are extremely durable. I am able to fit more in a bag then I would with the plastic bags from the store so they are easier to carry and manage. The handles are much more comfortable to carry then other bags; even with the extra weight. Also, when using at the hardware store, I don't have the same problems of items ripping through and falling out that I sometimes had with plastic bags. Best of all, they are appropriate for a man to carry. With a lot of other reusable bags I have used or been given, the design didn't quite suite me. However, the subtleness of the gray color means I can carry these bags and not feel like I am getting in touch with my feminine side. I am sure I will be purchasing other sets for myself and others.

I used my shopping bags for the first time yesterday; they were great! They fit nicely on the posts at the check-out counter. They were much less cumbersome than the other cloth bags I had been using.

As the family gets older it seems more difficult to get things for them that really matter and will last. In the state of Washington, this set of grocery bags is the gift that keeps on giving - a nickel a bag is given to those that bring their own grocery bags! Everyone that we have given them to has been thrilled, including the set that got traded at a white elephant gift exchange - they are a perfect fit for some of the purses and all of the glove boxes so that every shopping trip in our family this next year will not require disposable bags to be brought home!

These little bags are the best kind of reusable bag that I have found. They hold a LOT, they are easy to carry, compact to store in my car and come in pretty colors, too. I have had to buy more and more since they disappear from my car (for shopping ease) when I find uses for them around the house, for the kids, etc. Fabulous product. I have had one of my first ones develop a hole, but I pack them full and they really do take a beating!
