If you ever find some space, they're doing 25kg LME just now for 49.99... cheapest way by miles.
(I've got one of their 15kg jerry cans sitting out in the garage - doesn't really take up much space)
I got very excited and then looked at the delivery cost.

I thought £7.49 to deliver a 15kg parcel was cheap!

Ah... true enough it's quite a big price band.. same price to ship 3kg as it is to ship 30kg!

LME can be very cheap, two examples.

I've been thinking about this and the answer seems to me to be, buy 30kg. Problem solved.
