Hi there,
I have found Saffron to be expensive too, but not $30.00 dollars worth of
expensive. I buy a little container that holds only 0,008 oz. and costs
around $3.95. The name of the company I believe is Cucina Aromatica. I
found it at The Real Food Company in San Francisco. It doesn't take much
to add a lot of flavor and color.
