Caulk caddy and corresponding method and system

A method of storing and carrying a plurality of objects, the method comprising:

• inserting each of the plurality of objects into a corresponding chamber of a device having a main body in which a plurality of chambers are defined and a plurality of resilient tabs attached to or integral with the main body and spaced about a perimeter of the main body, wherein each chamber has an open top end, wherein each tab is adapted to support the device on a top rim of a bucket such that the main body is elevated off a floor of the bucket, wherein each tab is adapted to flex inward toward a longitudinal axis of the main body when a downward force is applied to the main body such that the main body and the tabs move downward into the bucket until the main body contacts the floor of the bucket;
• placing the device into the bucket such that the device is supported on the top rim of the bucket and such that the main body is elevated off a floor of the bucket;
• and
• applying a downward force to the main body such that the main body and the tabs move downward into the bucket until the main body contacts the floor of the bucket.

A system for receiving and holding a plurality of objects, the system comprising:

• a bucket having a top rim, a floor, and a wall therebetween;
• a main body having a plurality of chambers defined therein, each chamber having an open top end, each chamber adapted to receive at least one object via its open top end;
• and
• a plurality of resilient tabs attached to or integral with the main body and spaced about a perimeter of the main body, each tab adapted to support the device on the top rim of the bucket such that the main body is elevated off the floor of the bucket, each tab adapted to flex inward toward a longitudinal axis of the main body when a downward force is applied to the main body such that the main body and the tabs move downward into the bucket until the main body contacts the floor of the bucket.
