Isn't that exactly how Kraft macaroni and cheese came about? The goal was to create a product that could feed a family of four for an incredibly cheap price during the depression. It cost 19¢ when they started selling it in 1937, which would be $4.36 in today's money, so it's actually gotten cheaper over the years.
One box doesn't feed 4 by a long shot, though.
Technically there's 3.5 servings per package. Keep in mind it debuted during the depression, so a skimpier meal was a lot more commonplace.
There is a 4.5 serving box with 400 calories per person x4, which is enough Mac n cheese for one day.
