Hi.
This looks a little like a homework problem, so I'll be cryptic ... :)

if m:
if m.group(1) not in od.keys():
od[m.group(1)] = int(m.group(2))
else:
od[m.group(1)] += int(od.get(m.group(1),0))
Look very carefully at the last line above. What is it _actually_ doing?
Also, consider that for each of the input lines all of the items that
occur more than once exactly double the current value each time they are
repeated. Except "CANDY", which is the item you are having a problem
with ... that may tell you something.
