Buenos Aires is Cheap. Good accommodations and nice quality of the life. You can travel by bus but it's a bit long.

======================================...

From BA to RIO you can go from AR or through UY/Uruguay

Through AR best option is bus, i.e. Pluma

Through UY, cross Rio de la Plata in ferry BuqueBus:

Remember it is a long way from BA to RIO!

Suggestion:

Fly from UK to EZE/Buenos Aires and R/T return from GIG/Rio (it is an open-jaw) plus a EZE>RIO or SAO flight via Gol or TAM;

Answer 3

You may spent between 20 and 40 dollars per night in a hostel in Buenos Aires. Maybe you can find cheaper ones if you share the room

About travelling to Rio, you should buy a flight ticket to Aerolineas Argentinas, Tam or Varig. The problem with the packages is that most of them are for 1 week.

So let me advice you to buy a flight ticket and some hotel nights, not to stay there for too much time.

If you are travelling just to Buenos Aires and Rio, consider visiting another excellent destinations as Iguazu or Calafate in Argentina.
