tucks away

Puts into storage

Tucks away means to store something in a safe, hidden, or out-of-the-way place: She tucked away the letters in a drawer.

It often suggests saving for later: He's been tucking away money for retirement.

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

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