When using it for shopping, you must close the zipper on both sides of the bag body before removing it from the shopping basket,
The contents spill out from the cut portions on both side surfaces. However, in the shopping basket, since many products are packed in the bag body, to close the zipper, put your hand inside the bag body or in the gap between the bag body and the shopping basket. There was a problem that the user had to insert his hand and the fastener operation could not be performed satisfactorily. For this reason, it was very difficult to use, and it was actually difficult to function.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and a cashier at the time of settlement of a payment directly transfers goods to a shopping bag brought by the customer, and the customer moves the shopping destination. A shopping bag that eliminates the hassle of transferring goods from the basket to the take-away bag, and that is easy to use and that can be detached and attached to the shopping basket with one touch without the product falling out of the shopping bag. The purpose is to provide.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a shopping bag which is installed in a shopping basket used in a sales store when a product is put in a fully opened state, The elastic member is attached to one of the two sets of opposing sides of the upper end edge of the bag body formed in a shape that can be mounted along the inner surface of the shopping basket.
