You think limes are expensive?

It seems a lot but I have a 1g tub of saffron. I bought it about a year ago and it is used regularly. It is still going strong. Saffron is great and a very little goes a very long way. Also, it's still only a quarter of the price of gold. :-D

For some reason Saffron is a lot cheaper in Spain than in France. It is also a lot cheaper in France than it is in England. The price is low where the demand is high, when people buy it more often they are more careful of how much they pay for it.

We picked up limes (limones) off the ground for free last week. Hard to give them away because they are so abundant in the tropical regions. Saffron (azafran) is cheap at WalMart here. My wife buys a box every year or two to use in cooking.
