Substitute for Saffron

Has anyone found a decent substitute for saffron threads? They are quite expensive. When I have splurge and purchase this item, I've been disappointed because it's been on the shelf too long. A lot of recipes indicate that it's possible to substitute with turmeric. I find that turmeric gives an off flavor that is a bit too intense for delicately flavored recipes.
