The nylon bags are made to be reused. The cheesecloth ones are not, and I don't think they'd hold up to reuse.
If you reuse a nylon bag, you just need to clean it before use. No need to sanitize, as steeping is pre-boil.

You might be able to do it if you were VERY careful. That said its a risk reward thing. The risk is having your bag break & your kettle filling with a bunch of grain that will be a real pain in the ass to remove - the reward is saving 50 cents for a new cheesecloth bag...
Its up to you.
