For “Pay for” means give money to someone for goods received. So, it is the phrasal verb which will make the sentence grammatically correct, as the sentence talks about paying money for buying certain articles. Pay out means the act of receiving money or material gain as a compensation. Pay off means to pay a debt. Pay of has no meaning.
