      Whats amazing is the farmers who they farm the actual saffron they get paid about $0.5 or 50 cents for a gram. And the actual thing is being sold for $0.75/gram in irans bazaars.
      Woolworths must buy the same saffron for max 30-40cents per gram and they resell it for $140$/gram. Which means they make 40000% profit.

      • macrocephalic on 03/04/2017 - 12:28

        They always mark up specialty items. Carolina Reaper chillies are $400/kg in Coles. If you can find a grocer who sells them they're like $10/kg.

      Thanks for the comment. This is "Pushal"saffron. Pushal is grade 4 saffron which is the lowest grade saffron according to the international rating of saffron. Our saffron is Grade-1 "Sargol" saffron, which is only the best bit of the saffron thread (the red part).

      They are offering prices that greatly undercut Coles. Not like you can expect them to manage imports and sell without some margin.

      There are strict rules for food standards in Australia. OP even said it had undergone lab testing locally.

      I think I've paid $21 for the one at Costco. Not that I remember the weight so that probably doesn't help. Much bigger size than Coles/Woolies and better value.

      I did buy from the Saffron store last year because price was better than Costco. Also I have to say that Costco had a fair few golden/yellow threads which i believe is lower quality. Surprising as Kirklands products are usually very good! The saffron i received from the store above was bright vibrant red

      Thanks for the comment. Yes, we had a massive sale for our new season's arrivals. Saffron harvest is in November each year and after lab testing, packaging and shipping, it gets to us by February each year. We do have 3-4 sales throughout the year every year.

      Today was for our new package introduction and the Heart shaped is discounted. Other products have their regular price which is still much cheaper than any other supermarket or website offering the quality of the saffron we are offering.

      Hope you purchase it and enjoy it :)

          Thanks for the comment. It's not a factory to have a set date every year. It's a farm. Some Flowers's grow in Oct, some floweres grow in Dec. "around" November is when the harvest happenes.
          I feel like I'm answering primary school questions sometimes. No offense and please don't take it on yourself, but the type of comments you see here in ozbargain indicates the learning curve we as saffron providers should fill in the community.

          There are some websites and Wikipedia I can refer and that's what I did when I first stsrted selling saffron. I read a few books and websites. I wasn't a saffron seller. I'm an engineer. I just loved saffron and knew we could bring premium saffron here with much less of a price tag. That dream took 3 years of research and negotiation but we did it.

          Hope I answered your query. Thank you.

          If you take those months as numbers (with February being 14 to account for it being the following year) you get 10, 12, 14, 10, 10, 10, 12, 12 which averages to 11.25. Which is November.

          If you love logic so much, perhaps you can come up with a logical explanation as to why millions of people have such an obsession with cleanliness that they go to the trouble to make a makeshift bidet (indeed, as he name suggests it's also a western thing…) instead of using toilet paper yet don't wash their hands?

        • GregMonarch on 05/04/2017 - 13:37

          @callum9999: Um… You certainly did imply that with the scarcasm:

          "Only just learned about it today."
          "Oh, then you're clearly an authority on the matter"

          Not sure what you're saying with the bidet bit. But if you're implying the two methods are the same thing - hardly. From everything I've read (including from their own sources they use water and their left hand. A bidet does not emulate that disgusting practice. i.e. Washing with your hand, water only, no soap afterwards, then handling food. Bidets use a jet of water and you still wash your hands afterwards with soap in a hand basin. On the other hand, the cultural practice as now seen on the streets of Paris, is to ignore the public toilets available, and instead empty their bowels in a public fountain, wash their anus using that water, then drink from the same hand immediately afterwards. There's video of this online. (As for the ludicrous reason why this practice is done, the mind boggles.)

    Plus-voting because I'm confident your price is unlikely to be beaten.

    That was incorrect. I have requested Mods delete it and I revoked my plus-vote. Member Savas correctly remarked this is a price increase, which Store Rep OP already obscured by …

    We are fixing the website now.

    amending the displayed price. The price for 1 gram in today's post is definitely a price increase and OP's explanation https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/4574194/redir is inaccurate and spurious. That "fixed' website shows no product harvested in November https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/4574725/redir.

    Furthermore OP's assertion of …

    much cheaper than any other supermarket or website

    … was disproved by Member scozbargain. For example …

    https://saffronstore.com.au/shop/premium-saffron/premium-bul…
    $169.90
    https://saffronstore.com.au/shop/premium-saffron/premium-bul…
    $126.17 - 5% code CAU5 = $119.86 + Postage $4.07 = $123.93 … a significantt saving.
