Thinking about moving to Argentina or curious what everyday life actually costs here? We’ve been living abroad for over 4 years (currently in Buenos Aires with our two Great Danes and a cat 🐾), and we track our spending closely. On this page, we’ll share a breakdown of monthly living costs in Argentina — from groceries to transportation and dining out. Keep in mind: prices vary by city, lifestyle, and the ever-changing peso exchange rate, but this guide will give you a real sense of what life here might cost you. Travel far. Spend smart.
Breakdown of our monthly cost of living in Argentina (August 2025), showing spending by category.
August 2025 was a little out of the ordinary for us! We hosted two families visiting from the U.S., which meant more outings, more café stops, and a lot more eating out than our usual month. While our core expenses like rent, utilities, and groceries stayed about the same, our dining and entertainment budget definitely spiked. This breakdown gives you a look at what life (and splurging a little with friends) really cost us in Buenos Aires this month. 🌍🍽️💸
