tucking away

Putting into storage

To tuck away is to store something in a hidden, secure, or out-of-the-way place: She tucked away her savings in a shoebox.

It also means to eat heartily: He tucked away three plates of pasta.

A place that is tucked away is secluded or hard to find: a little café tucked away on a side street.
