Cheapo Tempe and Mesa - $2 dollar movies

Another 'get out of the heat' option loved by children and adults alike is going to the movies. Here are two places in town that offer inexpensive movies for the family. Click the links for showtimes.

Cheapo Gilbert - Southeast Library


Is the heat making you dread going outside? Grab the kids and head to the public library. Located on the SE corner of Guadalupe Rd and Greenfield Rd, the Southeast Library offers not only a variety of books but also a pretty impressive selection of DVDs and music CDs.
Oh, and it is next door to the Riparian Institute.
