So many things, how can one narrow it down?
You don't get something "for" free, you get it free. The "for" is not right!

The "for" is correct. English is a strange mixed-up language.

"If you keep doing that, you're going to go blind"
I've just told someone this! He's cheated me out of R600 by promising to fix my TV. He wanted R600 deposit to buy new LED lights (half my screen has gone black) which I gave him a month ago and since then it's been excuses, excuses. I've asked for my money back but nothing. I had promised to recommend him to others here but now... Sent him a Whatsapp yesterday telling him that he might think he's very clever because he's got R600 for nothing, but he's lost his name and future business from me and others.
Strict grammarians will tell you that "for free" is grammatically incorrect because "free" is not a noun, and this means it cannot be preceded by "for" (a preposition). In their view, something is "sold for nothing" or is "sold free." However, through common usage, "for free" has become acceptable

“This is the type of errant pedantry up with which I will not put.”
