I lived in Buenos Aires for four months at the beginning of the year and developed the exact same strategies. And the same thing often happened to me at the subway stations. I often resorted to buying some cheap piece of candy at a corner store to get coins.
It's amazing how you find yourself thinking, "okay this is $2.50 so if I pay with a five I'll get a 2 peso bill back and .50 in coins but if I pay with two 2 peso bills I'll get 1.50 back in coins."
P.S. check out 'Juana M.' definitely the best steak I had in the city. (Plus a real salad)
