Made-To-Order Birthday Weekend! Plus Safeway and Bonus Coupon Inserts

It's my made-to-order birthday weekend! My husband is super thoughtful and deemed Saturday and Sunday, plus my choice of a coming weekday, as Shana's made-to-order days. So far I have had the following deliciousness, some of which were purchased without coupons (shocking!)

Saturday...my bday present from Peter was a spa day at Club Biella in downtown Tacoma ($100 via Travelzoo!) with my awesome cousin Ally. We enjoyed an hour massage, hour facial and a pedicure. I brought champagne and OJ and Ally bought cupcakes. Obviously I wish I took photos but I was too busy relaxing!


Saturday night I requested chicken kabobs, and Peter made them tropical style with pineapple and peppers. Soooo good! To drink, mojitos with mint from our garden and club soda from our fave SodaStream!

Sunday...after church we hit up Safeway and I only saved 50% but needed certain items like vanilla ice cream and spinach. The Safeway steak was sub-par so we stopped in at Costco and chose amazing tri-tip. Mmmm. My dad came over around 1 p.m. with beer, wine, apples, a birthday card and a present but I was most excited about the coupon inserts he brought!



Anyway, my made-to-order birthday request was steak with copious amounts of blue cheese, plus mushrooms and onions and potatoes and salad on the side...with white wine. Peter BBQed the most amazing meal ever! After my dad left, we both powered through 1.5 hours of house cleaning and now we are basking in a clean house and loving it.

I have not decided which day I am going to use my final made-to-order card on...but not tomorrow as I bought Trader Joe's whole wheat pizza crust and plan to make margherita pizza mmm. So maybe Tuesday!
