The instant invention describes a bag filling device with support structure for retaining a bag. The device comprises support structures which are coupled to a funnel member through a funnel support member. The funnel member is constructed and arranged to traverse between a bag filling resting position and a bag inserting position. Coupled to the support legs via the funnel support member are bag fastening members. The bag fastening members are constructed and arranged to hold differently sized storage bags in a fixed position as the user places the solid or liquid food within the bags.
