Saffron will always be more expensive than other spices, however we have
discussed places on this list to get in less expensively than in the
grocery stores. Also most recipes do not require that much. A little
can go along way. I would recommend looking through the following files
and buying some at one of the recommended places since you will likely
want some for future period cooking. There are substitutions if you are
using it only for color.

Check these files in the PLANTS, HERBS AND SPICES section of my Florilegium:

saffron-msg       (47K)  9/ 4/98    Types of saffron. period uses.

I can't remember if there are saffron sources given in the above files or
not. I know there are some in this file:
spices-msg       (117K) 11/22/99    Info. on spices, sources for spices.
