            A zener would work fine, but it's considered bad form. I rely on zeners for overvoltage protection. Using a regulator is better, more reliable. Cost is a buck or two retail. 7812 or 78L12 Regs are common easy to find parts.

                Just Checked RadioShack.com..
                I hope you're sitting down for this..
                $1.49

                hope it doesn't break the bank.
