A compact device for carrying a plurality of shopping bags, the bags of the type having a pair of loop handles, including a rigid, straight pin member terminated by spaced-apart first and second ends, a rigid, straight tube member of terminal length located about the pin member and having a first aperture formed therein substantially midway therealong, an outer sleeve of pliable material covering the tube member and having a second aperture formed therein, aligned with the first aperture, wherein the straight pin member, the straight tube member and the outer layer of pliable material form a handle to be carried in one's hand, a rigid, planar, elongated loop including a first loop section and a second loop section, the loop sections held in spaced-apart arrangement by a pair of straight loop segments, wherein the first loop section is fastened about the straight pin member, through the first and second apertures, and the loop section depends slightly below the outer layer of pliable material, a portion of one of the straight loop segments adapted to pivot inside the elongated loop to provide a space through which the handles of shopping bags may be threaded or passed to thereafter reside inside the second loop section when the handle is carried in one's hand with the shopping bags hanging therebelow from the second loop section and bias means associated with the pivotable portion of the elongated loop urging the pivotable straight loop segment back into alignment in the rigid elongated loop to insure the handles of the shopping bags remain inside the second loop section while the bags are being carried by the device.
