I have no luck combining plastic grocery bags and handlebars. The swaying with any kind of load becomes dangerous.
However, when I ride my recumbent and am heavily loaded, I've found that I can put the lightest large items into plastic grocery bags and insert my arms through the carrying loops and hang them from my elbows and they are fairly stable and out of the way of my knees.
