salt away
Store for later
Salt away means to save or store something for future use, especially money.
The image is of preserving food with salt for later consumption.
She's been salting away a little from each paycheck.
The phrase suggests quiet, steady accumulation rather than dramatic saving—tucking things aside where they'll keep.
