Living in BA on $5 a day is a big stretch… yes it can be done, but i think the clogged arteries from panchos, choripan and empanadas will be the biggest downfall. A possibility that would take up the extra $5 pesos of leftover money in your equations would be to get a small bag of day-old bread (usually around 3 baguettes) that cost 2 pesos more or less the buying 1 avocado, 1 tomato and 1 small hard sausage from the supermarket, totaling around 8 pesos. The last three items can be used for multiple sandwiches. This can be a healthier option, and very easy to find and make.
