Is the 50% off the real price and the weeks its not available a huge profit making exercise?
Have you worked out what £2.10 for 400g works out at at the same price for 1 tonne?

£2.10 / 400 gives you the price per gram = £0.00525 per gram

£0.00525 X 1000 gives price per Kg = £5.25 per Kg

£5.25 X 1000 gives price per tonne = £5250 per tonne

unless my maths are wrong that is
