English term or phrase: to stash
She rummages around in her cache. She has stashed some bread there in a plastic bag.

Can someone give me some suggestions to translate the verb "to stash" into PT-PT please?

Since to stash is to store in, usually secret place, for future use, I suppose I need a word that conveys the idea of "esconder" e "armazenar" - if such a word exists... i can't think of one and, unfortunately none of my dictionaries defines "stash" at all so I am out of ideas.

Thank you.

Thanks a lot Teresa! Your suggestion lead me to the 'recatar' and that lead me to 'resguardar' which is what I used in the end because its meaning is very close to what I was looking for. Thanks also to all other contributors.
