Obviously anyone looking for this - check in with the 8oz (non 25% free) bottles - may be mixed in.
Always good to check end caps, over by the pro desk, etc for special displays too, obviously this was a promotion, most likely for black friday/xmas, so there was probably a special display for it. May be in one of the clearance sections too.
Overhead area, and someone mentioned near the moldings area too. It's always a hunt for Lowe's clearance stuff. Of course if you don't need a bunch of it, may not be worth the effort to search around to save a couple bucks on one or two bottles.

Honestly I haven't found any reason to use I in years - I exclusively use III now. Long working time isn't something I've ever needed....

Mine lasted less than 4 years and I made sure to keep the lid on it and that it was sealed well. Maybe you are on to something with the shaking.
4 years is pretty good for any wood glue. I'm sure the shaking and keeping it in the basement (pretty consistent temp year round) helps but the big thing is minimizing the air and moisture exposure, closing it tight as soon as possible etc. Mine is 1/4 full at this point - the very top has some dried/discolored stuff but the stuff in the bottom is still like new. That bottle only gets used occasionally and typically just to run a single bead then close it right after so I'm sure that is a lot to do with it.
I also learned the trick from my father (carpenter) decades ago that when you close wood glue let the stuff that comes out stay there and dry, seals it tight and breaks off easy next time you open it.
Titebond III is great, but it goes bad fast! I made the mistake of buying several gallons at $20 each, but they all went bad within the year. Lumpy, and smelled like death.
Check the date code on your bottle before you buy.
Surprised that sealed 1 gallon containers went bad that quick. Maybe they froze at some point (perhaps on the truck or in the store before you got them) or were very old stock when you got them.

Titebond 2 seems to be eternal... the 3... not so much. I keep it in a 72f-75f environment, so it mightve been a temperature issue where I ordered it from. But the 2 year date on every smaller bottle of T3 I have has been pretty much withing a month or two of the date, and it would start to curdle like milk. I'd do the flip thing, and it didn't seem to change the lifespan.
One thing I know for certain... don't buy a lifetime supply of T3 lol. That's on me! Lesson learned. Lol.
Protip: When I open a glue bottle (or any bottle/can of curing agents like paint, glue, lacquer, acetone, etc) I always put a thin piece of silicone rubber over the spout then close it up just to make certain its airtight. The silicone shouldn't alter it in anyway if it's platinum cured, and it is reusable. However, it can turn color. Say I have it covering a bottle of blue wood dye, the dye will dye the silicone.

They weren't with the other glue products. A worker found them for me in the tool area. I got 3 and could have emptied their stock but others may need a glue deal as well.
PS Two Lowes workers were first to mention SD to me and one was also familiar with brickseek. Guess the odds of me scoring lower inventory level deals on SD is dwindling.
lol
