carry bags

Haul your groceries

Carry bags are bags designed for transporting items—shopping bags, tote bags, or any receptacle with handles for carrying purchases or belongings.

The term appears most often in retail contexts: Paper or plastic carry bags?

In some regions, particularly South Asia and Australia, carry bag is the standard term for what Americans call a shopping bag.
