Abstract: A plastic container (1) with two lid halves (5a, 5b) rotatable about a hinge (6a, 6b) has on the inner surface (5c) of the lid halves hooks (7) arranged in a row adjacent to and along the hinges (6a, 6b). Each hook (7) extends parallel to and spaced apart from the lid half (5a, 5b) and includes a recess having an opening facing and toward the distal end (12a, 12b) and a two-sided undercut. The undercuts allow the placement of one or more bags (8) having two straps (9) inside the container (1) such that the bags (8) are held open. When the lid halves (5a, 5b) are closed the straps (9) remain in place and held by the hooks (7). The invention may be used by shoppers shopping large amounts, which may be placed in the bags. Several containers of this kind may be stacked when their lids closed.
