Saffron: It's Expensive, And Not That Great

So I spent $22~ on Saffron so I could make Chicken Scallopini with Saffron Cream Sauce. I was anxious to see what it would taste like since it is the most expensive spice I have purchased. Saffron are little red threads that are pulled out of a flower and are considered the "gold of spices"-LOL, this according to the bottle. Only 3 threads exist per flower which is why the price is so high.

As far as the Saffron, I wasn't a fan. The sauce was ok but nothing to write home about (well, I took some home-to my mom-so she could taste the Saffron, yeah nothing to visit home about)
