I'm a solo shopper at Costco on a budget. Here are 15 of the best things to buy for when you have people over.

The 70% ethyl alcohol exceeds the CDC's recommended 60% minimum for sanitizing effectiveness.

I like to place them around the house or transfer them into stylish pump bottles to match my home décor.

Washing your hands with hot soap and water is still one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of germs.

This $8.99 package of two 80-ounce bottles should last me a while.

In between the hand washing, I make sure to use lotion to avoid dry skin.

This Dove body lotion and hand cream is $9.99 and comes with two 13.5-ounce bottles and a 3-ounce hand cream for when I'm on the go.

CG Hunter faux orchid stems come in pink or white and are "planted" in stylish pots.

For $34.99, these brighten up my home and the best part is that I don't even have to water them.

This stylish, black-walnut finish coat rack from Umbra is made of real wood and features nine flip-down hooks.

At $74.99, it's compact, which makes it perfect for small spaces, and it's easy to assemble.

Whether you get this for your bed or for the spare room, try out a Novaform Comfort Grande Plus 14-inch gel memory foam mattress.

The king-size is $649.99, and the queen-size is $549.99.

If you don't have a guest bedroom, this air bed from Aerobed could be just what you need.

You can get a king set for $19.99.

These Mirabella textured, full-size bath towels come in assorted colors, are machine-washable, and are 100% cotton, which makes them incredibly soft and absorbent.

Each set costs $7.99.

I think a water cooler that dispenses both hot and cold drinks can be convenient and economical, especially for those with large families or frequent gatherings.

The Culligan water cooler features UV self-sanitization, bottom loading for water bottles, an Energy Star rating, and a removable drip tray.

You can get one for $249.99.
