Most supermarkets usually stock lots of them. You have to buy a whole packet though, you cant get individual ones

Because most people of that age group are married with kids and are not on the dating scene anymore. This also applies to the friends of people in the 40 year old age group, so someone who's single at that age doesn't have their old gang of pals to socialize with and this makes finding a mate even harder as they have to go out alone.

Have you tried Internet dating? It is quite poular. I have had success with it myself.
This website has dating tips:

U.S. residents spent $469.5 million on online dating and personals in 2004, the largest segment of “paid content” on the web, according to a study conducted by the Online Publishers Association (OPA) and comScore Networks.
At the end of November 2004, there were 844 lifestyle and dating sites, a 38 percent increase since the start of the year, according to Hitwise Inc. However, market share was increasingly being dominated by several large commercial services, including Yahoo Personals, Match.com, American Singles, and eHarmony. eHarmony CEO Greg Forgatch noted that despite the growing number of sites catering to specific niches, "to become a major player, it still takes a large number of people."
In 2002, a Wired magazine article forecast that, "Twenty years from now, the idea that someone looking for love without looking for it online will be silly, akin to skipping the card catalog to instead wander the stacks because 'the right books are found only by accident.' Serendipity is the hallmark of inefficient markets, and the marketplace of love, like it or not, is becoming more efficient"[1].
The online dating trend has also become very successful in Europe in the past decade. Not only has match.com opened local branches in European countries to cater to their particular culture and language, but also a French company, Meetic, has become one of the top sites. Their success has encouraged new start-ups and niche sites to come on board.

Have you been on match.com...that worked for me.
The real answer is probably we have too much baggage after the age of 40, folks generally want a simple relationship...and things are never simple after the age of 40....good luck X

Yes, I've been there! Try a reputable dating agency - there are folks out there looking for companions, but it's not easy finding them without some help.
