Kate Gosselin's Days As A Professional Coupon Blogger Are Over

Just like "professional gossip blogger," "professional couple blogger" is an actual job that actual humans do and pays actual money. But Kate Gosselin has lost that job title, because CouponCabin.com  did what humanity has been waiting years to do: they pink-slipped her ass and banished her from their presence. After spending a year blogging about coupons for Coupon Cabin, the company's CEO Scott Kluth wrote a letter to his readers yesterday telling them in professional words approved by Human Resources that Kate is a raging bitch monster and in her severance package they gave her a 50% off coupon for a bitcherectomy.

A series of recent events have made it clear to me that Kate Gosselin and her contributions do not align with the authenticity which we set out to build almost a decade ago, and that Ms. Gosselin is simply not a good fit with the wonderful team and culture at CouponCabin.

It’s with this that I am writing to inform you of our decision to discontinue Ms. Gosselin’s feature blog on CouponCabin.com. Ms. Gosselin’s contributions garnered both positive attention and criticism, but as always, I respect and appreciate your candid opinions, which often encourage us not to lose sight of our mission — to help YOU save money.

We wish Kate, her family and her support staff all the best.

A series of recent events? I'm taking that to mean that Scott Kluth knocked his head against binders full of coupons and realized what all of us have known for centuries: Kate Gosselin is the worst and is about as pleasant as sticking your dick in a garbage disposal while buttchugging boiled battery acid. Kate probably tried to get a bunch of free crap and attacked the receptionist with a wooden spoon when the receptionist asked her what coupon she used for her Botox treatments.

Kate said on her Twitter that she's fine and she's keeping busy and blah blah blah blah blah blah.

The truth is, Coupon Cabin's readers will suffer the most, because they won't get more amazing tips like this one:

My most recent splurge was an industrial grade meat slicer. By roasting and slicing my own organic chicken and beef roasts into lunchmeat instead of buying it from the deli, I save major bucks! And the cycle repeats itself, because my splurge that helps me save on lunchmeat is the beginning of planning my next splurge. Got it? You can do it, too!

Wait, so Kate is out of a paycheck AND she has an industrial grade meat slicer? Please don't tell me she's suddenly selling "Asian sandwiches" from a cart in front of her house. Somebody do a head count of Kate's child army NOW!

When Coupon Cabin fires you, you know it's time to give up & get a regular person's job. Unless you're this silicone-filled Twinkie, that is. She must have missed the "Picking up on Clues" seminar in nursing school.

Publix is the best grocery store! I loves the south.

lmao I read that as Pubic, thanx.

LOL, Oxa. In my Southern family, we call it Pubix instead of Publix. And yes, it's a niiice store, with pretty good weekly specials. ITA with all who avoid coupons. Weekly specials are much better, and less time-consuming than clipping coupons.

Say what you want about her but this is one of the best makeovers of all time. I would like to know what she's done besides tummy tuck (which everyone would need after sextuplets) and better hair. Kate should write a(nother?) book.

Bitch does have enuf counter space for an industrial meat slicer. On her old show I saw her industrial size kitchen paid for by the TLC network. She sure mooched enough material things from TLC and tried to pull it with Coupon Cabin but they got fed up and said HELL TO THE NO BITCH!

Anniefila's picture

Bitch hinted that she is working on new gig and rumor was Kate was seen at Avi Nightclub filming her new dating show. She can use her meat slicer to cut off their balls. She should hookup with that douche bag Jake Pavelka who was on the Bachelor. Both are egomaniacs and fame whores.

meowsers's picture

This phoney bitch needs to be driven from the public eye once and for all. I can't picture her as a nurse, she has zero empathy. Not at all surprised it's no longer her profession.

As for those who still have green tomatoes and are worrying about frost, pick them, wrap them in newspaper and stash them in a cool dark dry place. They'll ripen on their own and still taste better than the store bought ones.

Glad she got the ax, now maybe I'll actually support the site.

Wow, is she out of touch or WHAT?

I loved that industrial deli meat slicer suggestion. HA HA HA HA HA HA! REALLY?!? Bitch, you claim you are raising your eight kids, and you have time to slice your own meat? Bitch, please.

I never watched that horrible show. NEVER. I just do not like this lady. She is a loathsome individual. Waste. Of. Time.

So glad she is getting the boot.

Lmao, since Kate generated zero interest in any coupons for them, might as well get some free press from the drama queen firing! HAHA *they better not hire Octo now...*

Tee-hee! Just one random comment from Kate's column on saving money on her own clothes, accompanied by a photo of Kate holding an Ann Taylor bag:

"Look, I realize Mrs. Gosselin needs to make a living but Coupon Cabin you OWE it to your website and to your business reputation to research this before you publish this as sound advice without additional comment..."

I hate coupon logic - it encourages buying things that are not needed or wanted.

Stessie1216's picture

Kate8's ground breaking suggestiongs

1. Buy store brand not name brand
2. Rent DVD's and skip the movie theater
3. Make coffee at home and skip the starbucks

That's intense, we never would have thought of such things.

She also said she knew that people had to spend money joining a public pool because they didn't have their own pool like her and her kids.

She also suggested buying your own deli meat slicer and slice your own organic lunches like she does at her house.

Her blogging was as bad as her ballroom dancing

Yes, being a nurse is a high demand, high paying job and it only takes 2 years to become an RN

I am 43 and have one more year of college to be a school teacher and if I had the stomach or brains for nursing that is what I would do from now til I retire. After raising my own kids I don't know if I am going to have to energy for school teaching but that is what my college classes are geared towards and like Kate8, I need a damn job!

Stessie1216's picture

Such a fancy announcement. Let's look at some of the hints shall we?

1. We wish her, her family & HER SUPPORT TEAM?
2. RECENT EVENTS?
3. she doesn't fit with OUR WONDERFUL TEAM?

She had her own support staff to write a blog? Her staff is Steve the silvefox bodyguard.
I bet she was being a total bitch to her editor or who ever she had to answer to. "Recent events" just means a blow up that was building up and came to a head.

I get the weekly flyer at my Publix, scan it religiously and looks for specials, cut out Publix coupons in the flyer which are always for $1 off or $2 off, and they have absolutely amazing 'buy 1 - get 1 free' deals every week for products that I would buy anyway. I stock up on those.

____________

Publix is da FANCY grocery store around my 'hood. I live in an area that's over-run with ghetto ass Kroger's and Wal-Marts. I ain't gonna lie - I get some stuff at Wal-Mart, but go to the local "international" farmer's market for fruits, veggies and certain meats because it's higher quality & cheaper than WallyWorld. If I'm feeling high-falutin, I'll go to Publix. Had one of their subs today for lunch!

I don't coupon because (a) I don't get the Sunday paper, (b) most of the coupons are for JUNK food, and (c) I'm super duper lazy.

I LOL'd hard at this comment!

If gaining fame wasn't her sole priority and goal, she would be smart to go back to being a nurse.

Nurses are in very high demand. Plus, she could be paid a decent wage to take care of her family.

I'm so impressed with Jon that he is staying out of the limelight.

cripbabe's picture

seriously, you know your ass is at the end of the line when you get fired from a job as a fucking coupon blogger. what next? well she could always do what I did 20 yrs. ago - be a mistress for a phone sex service. she's got plenty of experience verbally castrating people - she could make $10 an hour!

She offers very little in actual savings tips or coupons. The comments from the angry moms were very entertaining, though. Most were totally calling Kate out for being of no value / a bullshit artist.

She's devoted her life to biological profligacy, yet was employed by a site devoted to financial frugality
==========================================
I think what Mike's saying is for a bitch that spent her life coughing out so many kids it's ironic she works for a company that is devoted to saving you money probably because you have too many mouths to feed.

This Bitch.

Coupons are a scam, they will show these retarded coupon saver moms on tv, saying "look I bought 243,194 bucks worth of crap for $593 bucks" when in reality how many cases of Colgate do you need???

Buy 23 cases of toilet paper and get one free. Buy four bottles of barbecue sauce and get .24 off the next one. That isn't a deal.

For fuck's sake, get this idiot off my screen.

Webberbear's picture

I have a relative that's an extreme couponer. She has piles and piles of shit that she will never use. She's trying to sell off some of it now before it gets too old (toothpaste expires!), but most people can't or don't want to be bothered with shopping through her pantry.

Webberbear's picture

Beware the 5 for $5 deals, etc. Rounding to $1 makes things seem cheaper. But I've seen those same items individually on sale at other times for 88 cents or less. Also, the "Buy One/Get One" - They jack up the price for one item so high, that you pay just as much, if not more, in the end. (Breyers Ice Cream 2 for 1 where 1 carton costs 5.99, as opposed to buying one carton on sale for 2.49).

But.Seriously.Folks's picture

I think Jon Gosselin's balls have already seen the business end of that meat slicer.

She reminds me of that awful Teresa from RHONJ. A little fame and money turned a garden variety bitch into a raging psycho bitch.

Industrial meat-slicers only should belong to two kinds of places:

1. People like the Duggars, who have a billion kids and grandkids.
2. Restaurants.

bambam - I ripped my tomato plants out. I had too many and couldn't use them fast enough, shit, I still have a large metal bowl full of them.

I have broccoli, brussel sprouts, beans, eggplant and lettuce planted right now.

My bell peppers are still producing and my basil and oregano are still thriving, so, I guess until the frost, they can keep on keepin' on.

Good. Finally, we can be done with this bitch. Imagine getting fired from a job where all you have to do is blog about coupons? What a whorendous person she must be.

Although, I gotta admit, I watch that couponing show on TLC and it is kinda cool watching people turn $2000 grocery bills to $4 just by using coupons, although i 'm not sure what id do with 100 cans of spaghetti sauce and 300 bottles of powerade...

Lol at the industrial strength meat slicer joke. Reminds me of when bread machines were all the rage and I must have bought half a dozen as gifts and they loved it. But now perfectly good machines sit on the floor of pantries because like me they just got bored with it and there's perfectly good bread at grocery stores!

bambam's picture

ME, I still got 'maters growing in my garden. I'm stressing out yelling at them to get ripe before the temps drop to 40 degrees at night, once that happens it's fried green tomato time.

Not that I'm complaining, I just want to make a bunch of sauce.

Hekki - shit. I try to make as much as I can from scratch, but hell, I work full time, I can't make EVERYTHING from scratch. I am trying harder with my garden and growing my own veggies.

My last attempt at bread was some Amish recipe (just keeps going and going and going) and I couldn't get the family to eat that much bread.

Event Horizon's picture

The way I understand couponing to work is that first, you shop for deals like (buy 5 for $5) then you search to see if there is a coupon for $1 off of that product so you get it for free, then you get as many of that product as you can in anticipation for the future because the item might not go on sale again for another year. So its kinda like hoarding, but more organized.
