How much you have to spend on a Buenos Aires vacation depends largely on the general economic situation, the season, your goals, desires and financial capabilities.
Original prices for a Buenos Aires vacation:
Accommodation. In the most expensive hotels - from 280 USD per night, in lower ranked hotels - from 30-50 USD. Renting an apartment is a good alternative - you can book a modest apartment from 18-22 USD per night through an online service. In hostels you will be accommodated for 7-12 USD (depending on the type of accommodation). The price usually includes breakfast.
Eating is another significant expense during a Buenos Aires vacation. According to reviews, the average check in a decent restaurant will be about 400 ARS, but there are, of course, options and cheaper. In inexpensive restaurants and cafes you can have lunch or dinner for 150-170 ARS. Still expensive? Then do your own cooking - you can buy food at fairly affordable prices in stores and markets.
When budgeting a vacation for two in Buenos Aires, don't forget about transportation, excursions, shopping, and visiting attractions. These are expense items you can adjust.
