Etymology

儲 combines 亻 (person) with 諸, which likely contributes the sound and may relate to the idea of many or various, suggesting a person accumulating many things for profit.

Meaning mnemonic

A person 亻 beside 諸 (many/various) suggests someone gathering many things to turn a profit. Picture a merchant surrounded by various goods, all yielding profit.

Reading mnemonic

For チョ, imagine a person choosing the most profitable goods: choose -> チョ, and the person 亻 beside 諸 is carefully selecting what will yield profit.
