Suggest going to a Dollar Store. Was able to buy toothbrushes, hair brushes, combs, ziploc bags, soap, and many other items x6 for under $150.

Hit target for blankets, underwear, etc. Someone can hopefully provide a better option for blankets and towels.

And if you are retired like me and the spouse, go through the closet. I was shocked at how many good work clothes were hanging clean from the dry cleaner and never touched. A crapload of stuff bought pre covid that were barely worn and hanging in the closet for five years.
