10 Crockpot Freezer Meals under $100

We bought everything to make these 10 meals yesterday and must say, we are greatly impressed at the quantity of it all for the price.  I hope the meals turn out good because this would be great for expecting mothers or just to have a meal on hand ready to go in the crock pot.  See the link to print out the grocery list if you are interested!
