A hand carried shopping basket 2 is configured so that it may be carried with a shopper's arm 6 hanging closer to the shopper's body 8 with the palm facing naturally and in an anatomically-neutral position toward the body. The shopping basket has two elongated, longitudinal sides 12, two lateral sides 20 and a bottom 10. All sides are generally trapezoidally-shaped, and at least one of the longitudinal sides has a concave shape 18. Pivotally mounted to the lateral sides within a protrusion 34 and aligned generally parallel to a longitudinal axis are a pair of spaced apart, elongated handle structures 44 which combine and engage one another over the longitudinal axis. To facilitate stackability of the basket, the handles have angled pillars 52 which enable each handle to be pivoted to an exterior position and provide open access to the bottom.
