Timing is everything.
You already knew that the best time to shop for singles was on a weeknight after work. But did you know that after 8 p.m. is prime pick-up time? You might catch guys in a post-workout, sweaty state, but at least you know they’re in good shape.

I hit the first store at 6:45 p.m. on a Tuesday night and spotted ten single guys, and then later at the specialty store at 8:00 p.m. I found fifteen available gents. So don’t shop too early; all you’ll catch are the guys rushing home for a family dinner.

Doin’ a little frozen food flirting.
Guys aren’t expecting you to hit on them in the grocery store, so it will take them by surprise when you start talking to them. I would pick up a package of free-range chicken and ask the nearest guy if he had ever tried it. I’d ask what they were thinking of having for dinner. And asking people for the time is a classic. I think I only confused one guy out of everyone I talked to, and when I ran into him at another aisle we still traded eye contact and smiles.

While the supermarket may not be the most ideal place to snag a guy, you can definitely shop for a boyfriend if you have the right mindset to do it. You’ll have to be open-minded and fun about it. Remember, all you have to do is ask questions and you can strike up a good conversation. And who knows? You could be eating your frozen dinners together later that night.
