CHANDLER, AZ — No surprise here, but temperatures are creeping up in the Valley of the Sun and that means it is time to find indoor activities to keep cool.

A popular and easy activity is to go to the movies. There are multiple theaters around town, it can keep the little ones entertained for a couple hours, and it is air-conditioned. But, it isn't always the least expensive activity once the tickets, popcorn, nachos, candy, and soda are bought.

It doesn't have to be because we found a few ways to save.

We've previously put together a list of movie theaters in the Valley that have movie tickets for $6 or less. Some of these theaters show second-run movies, which means the movies come out out a few weeks after the big weekend premieres, and others have a discount day each week.

Flix Brewhouse, the dine-in theater in downtown Chandler, recently announced its summer promotions.

During the month of July, part of its Flix Junior programming, the theater will have $2 tickets to classic kids films. The discount does not include the recent premieres of Toy Story 4, The Secret Life of Pets 2, or Aladdin.

Instead, the July "Junior" lineup includes The Spongebob Squarepants Movie, Matilda, The Iron Giant, and Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory. Tickets can be purchased, here.

Another promotions is that kids, 12 and younger, can get a free meal with the purchase of an adult meal, through September 30, 2019. It is limited to one kids meal per adult meal bought.
