Using contacts after being in expired contact solution?

For a costume i'll be doing soon, i bought some green costume contacts online.when i tried to put them in today, after soaking them in contact solution, they made my eyes extremely irritated, red, itchy, etc.i was really mad that i wasted so much money on them when i realized that my two bottles of solution were expired(one expired in january 2012 while the other one was from summer of 2011). now, could i use those same contacts if i promptly went out to buy more solution tomorrow, and soaked them in the new solution for a few hours? i'd hate to have to buy more contacts because of a mistake.

also, do you people(who are intelligent with contacts) believe my eyes could have been THAT irritated because of the solution? when i put these contacts in, my eyes were briiiight red, itchy all over, and all around uncomfortable.i'm not sure if they are the lenses itself, or that the fact that the solution is over a year expired.any advice and thoughts are welcomed.
