Try F-droid, that's probably the best free alternative to the play store. You get some of the programmes also available on the play store (more like, a few actually) and some that are not on the play store. For me, it doesn't wrote replace the pay store, but a good addition and definitely what i would use for a Google free android. Worth checking out!
You can also download specific apps as apk files and install them directly without using the play store (search for download apk and the name of the app you want, there are some possibly dodgy sites, but there are also some pages that take links to the play store and download the apk directly from there). Main disadvantage is that you don't get updates that way (and no security checks).
