Thaw package, finding item in freezer on a couple of occasions (5)
I believe the answer is:
twice
'thaw package finding item' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'freezer on a couple of occasions' is the wordplay.
'freezer' becomes 'ice' (something which 'freezes').
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a couple of occasions' becomes 'tw' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ice' put after 'tw' is 'TWICE'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for twice that I've seen before include "You only live -- (film)" , "Doubly" , "Two times" , "Double in quantity" .)
