The invention is a device and means that reduces the amount of overloading and under-loading of plastic grocery bags.

The indicator checks the weight of the contents of the bag. If the contents are under the targeted weight an indicator is lit, when the targeted weigh is reached another indicator is lit, and if a “not to exceed weight” is reached a warning indicator is lit.
