In August, I planted 50 saffron bulbs because it is too expensive to buy. I am now collecting the saffron, drying it and putting it in storage. I'll probably only get two meals out of it but I plan to strew my garden with the pretty crocus next year...and get two meals out of it!
Seriously, it's a fun, easy and satisfying thing to do.
P.S.: The smell that emanates from my drying room is overwhelming. You don't get this from cheap/old saffron.

Make sure you exclude mice from your saffron bulb storage.
Ask me how I know that.

That’s great. It’s something I keep meaning to do, but never get around to. Sounds like it might take up a lot of room though.

Miss M., where do you get your saffron bulbs, and what variety?
I had never even thought of this.
