Get a cheap date...
Looking for the love of your life? He/she may be walking in the next aisle. Make a run for him/her before someone else does.
A few months ago, Walmart stores in Germany started 'singles night' on Fridays 6 to 8 pm. People who are participating in it get to use a shopping cart with a red bow on it. The program was wildly successful and is being expanded to stores in Puerto Rico, England and South Korea. It will come to US stores in the future, too.
One nice thing about it is that even if the date doesn't work out, you can return it to the store, without a receipt.

Some of the girls being chaperoned by their over protective parents and guys wondering where the girl's parents or muscled elder brother may be lurking before he even considers making the first move.
