This must be for the jars of saffron in the spice area.  At least where I 
live, there are little envelopes of saffron hanging near the checkout lines 
which are much cheaper - something like $2.50.  It is real saffron, it's just 
a lot less, and since I find I don't need much (saffron is potent stuff), 
that is enough for me.  Actually, the one time I did buy it in quantity, it 
was still cheaper to buy several envelopes than one jar.  Of course, I also 
live in Pennsylvania Dutch Country, and saffron appears pretty frequently in 
their traditional foods.
