∙ 8y agoThe idea behind the phrase, "no such thing as a free lunch" is that nothing in life comes free; anything that seems free almost certainly has a condition behind it. To use another idiom, it "has stings attached". Usually, the condition is that something you have or are will be employed by your benefactor in exchange for the "freebie".
