secret stash
Concealed personal hoard
A secret stash is a hidden supply of something—typically drugs, money, or other items one wants to keep private or protected.
The phrase implies both concealment and accumulation: The cops found his secret stash of cash under the floorboards.
While often associated with contraband, it can refer to any private reserve: her secret stash of chocolate, a secret stash of love letters.
