Abstract

The present application is directed to a bag carrying device. In particular, the present application is directed to a plastic bag carrying device having a plastic bag handle holder designed to hold several plastic bag handles attached to an ergonomic handle designed for easy carrying. The bag carrying device can be used to carry groceries packed in a plastic bag without cutting in to the flesh of the person carrying the bags or cutting off the circulation to the same. The bag carrying device is designed to allow for easy plastic bag handle attachment and at the same time prevent the plastic handles from slipping off of the bag carrying device. The bag carrying device can be used to keep the grocery bags together during transportation so as to not allow the groceries to spill all over the back seat or trunk of the car.
