Hoard money, it’s said (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cache

'hoard' is the definition.
(both can mean a stock of things)

'money it's said' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'cash' (cash is a type of money).
'it's said' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'cash' is a homophone of 'CACHE'.

(Other definitions for cache that I've seen before include "Hiding place for treasure or stores" , "Hiding place for treasure or store" , "Hidden store of things" , "Concealed store" , "memory" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
