I go to Duane Reade for household items like tissues, cleaning supplies, etc. There’s also a hardware store a few blocks away (called University Hardware), and I think there’s a kitchen supply store (maybe University Kitchen?). Morton Williams is the grocery store closest to campus (right across the street on Broadway), but prices are slightly lower at grocery stores farther away (e.g. Westside Market on Broadway, Appletree Market on Amsterdam).

There are several bookstores around campus. Obviously, there’s the Columbia bookstore, but a lot of professors will also order textbooks through Book Culture/Labyrinth between Amsterdam and Broadway on 112th.
