tuck away

Store out of sight

Tuck away means to put something in a secure, hidden, or out-of-the-way place: She tucked the letter away in a drawer.

It often implies saving for later: He's been tucking money away for years.

A place described as tucked away is secluded or hard to find: a cabin tucked away in the mountains.

Informally, to tuck away food is to eat heartily: The kids tucked away three pizzas.
