Containers of sauce or second-rate cereal (5)
I believe the answer is:
boats
'containers of sauce' is the definition.
'boats' can be an answer for 'containers' (boat is a kind of container). I am not certain of the 'of sauce' bit.
'second-rate cereal' is the wordplay.
'second rate' becomes 'b'.
'cereal' becomes 'oats' (type of cereal).
'b'+'oats'='BOATS'
'or' is the link.
(Another definition for boats that I've seen is " Vessels".)
